Where I Belong

He works with his best friend at a job he loves in the city he loves even more, but he's still missing the one thing he longs for... A family of his own. Determined to move on from a relationship that ended in heartbreak, he meets the sexy Maalik at a Halloween charity event. After a night of dancing, flirting, and sparks, Leon thinks he may be ready to jump back into the dating pool. But Maalik is a mystery and the night ends leaving Leon with more questions than answers. Veterinarian, Maalik Reza, adores Philadelphia.

Their sizzling connection tempts him to take a chance. They fit each other perfectly. Even their pets get along. But Leon needs a man who will make him a priority and not keep him hidden in the shadows. And Maalik is torn between being true to himself and having a life with Leon or being the version his family expects him to be. Can they find family in each other or will insecurities and uncertainties break them apart?
