Pretty Little Words in a Bottle — Stephani Hecht

Richard had it all -- money, popularity, and a promising career as an artist. That all ended one night when he made one terrible mistake that culminated with him locked up in Kirkwood Hospital for the Mentally Ill. Now diagnosed as Bi-Polar, he finds himself struggling in a new world, one where all the rules have changed, and he must find himself again.

Being in a mental hospital is nothing new to Zander. Since he was sixteen and diagnosed as Bi-Polar, he's been in and out of the places. When he sees the sexy, yet petulant newcomer, Richard, Zander is, at first, annoyed with him. But then, over time, Zander finds himself cultivating a friendship with the artist -- one that grows into something deeper.

But can the two men overcome their mental diseases, or is their relationship doomed before it even begins?
