“To love and be loved, it’s all that matters.

Living in Savannah, trying to keep his head above water, Noah is single-minded and plans to stay that way.And then Noah’s favorite Deaf adult film star’s life falls apart in a very public spectacle on Twitter.Noah doesn’t expect anything from the ASL message he sends to Adriano Moretti, but when a shadow appears in his bakery doorway one afternoon, he finds Adriano standing there with a small smile on his lips and a hello on his hands. It’s at that moment Noah realizes his life is about to change forever.Adriano is a force of nature, and Noah is quickly swept up in his wake.But fantasy has never been Noah’s reality, and there can’t be a happily ever after on that horizon.Can there?Running In Circles is the former series On The Market, and this novel was previously titled Love Him Free.
