Acknowledgements:
* A million thanks to my patient and diligent betas - sunshinyday5762 and lire_casander, who both were very considerate to agree working on my story at such a short period of time. Thank you ladies for an outstanding job done. And thank you to 4jinx_removing for the initial beta you've done. Moreso, I would like to thank my friend, radcliffe_bass for reading through some scenes whenever my brain refuses to function. Last but not least, thank you to charliebb and gcaedmon for cheering me on and letting me know that, despite the small probability that people would read this since it's for a fandom not widely known, I still have your support.

Author's Notes:
1) The concept of this story was inspired by a Harlequin, American Romance Novel that I have read ages ago called 'Second Chances' written by Tracy Hughes. While I remember bits and pieces of the story, this fic wasn't based entirely on the novel's plot since I don't possess a copy and could not recall the details. But the basic idea and flow of the story is similar to the published novel and please note, as stated in the disclaimer, that this is merely written for the challenge and not intended for profit.

2) BelAmi Online is an adult film company that specializes in gay porn films, where all actors/ male models use screen names to hide their real identities. None of them had publicly disclosed their family background, thus, names of BelAmi model's relatives indicated in the story were merely invented, unless the relative used is likewise a BelAmi model. Specifically, Dolph's father in the story, Devlin Lambert, is one of the original characters I created.

3) I am uncertain if the town 'Fairfield' (where Dolph resides) does exist. I was trying to create an original place similar to Nancy Drew having River Heights, so 'Fairfield' is the name that popped in my head.

4) Regardless of the fact that this fic had been beta'ed, I have done a few modifications post-beta stage. Also, the fact that there were two lovely betas who worked on this story, I had to use MSWord's 'compare document' function and since I admittedly do not have 20/20 vision anymore, there may be corrections that I have overlooked so any mistakes left are all entirely my fault.

5) Please make sure you check the end notes for some resources used to make this story believable somehow.

6) ETA: The title of this story was based on the song by Debbie Gibson, 'Shades of the Past'.
