Echoes From the Past

Nolan, who swore off relationships after his grandfather found out he was dating a guy and his grandfather made him break off the relationship. Since then, Nolan has been spending long hours working at his grandfather's publishing company. Another stipulation of the will is he must produce an heir in one year or the publishing company will go to the city.
