From the farms of Tennessee, Beau Watkins had it all in high school: the cute girl, the popular jock lifestyle, a loving family. As a rising freshman at an out-of-state college, he's determined to find out who he really is behind the fake it 'til you make it attitude. He joins Rainbow Connection, the gay student alliance, hoping to find himself. Instead, he meets Vin Reyes. Raised by his grandparents and the heir to a prosperous company, Vin has been out of the closet since he figured out what that meant. He has it all: fashionable clothing, fancy cars, huge houses, and a real party lifestyle, even a bodyguard. Most of all, he has a secret. Uncomfortable with Vin's generosity, Beau fights his growing attraction for the president of Rainbow Connection, instead chasing a series of shallow affairs. Vin's never been denied anything he wants, though, and now he wants Beau. But it isn’t until an old rival puts Beau in the hospital that Vin realizes Beau means more to him than a simple affair. Can the two of them bridge the gap between their worlds and roll with the all the punches life throws at them?

“Did anyone ever teach you that you don’t get to have everything you want?” Beau leaned down and kissed Vin slowly, pulling back to keep the contact between their lips at the barest whisper of pressure.


Beau kissed him again, and then was off, digging through his suitcase.


“What the actual fuck, Beau?” Vin sat up on the bed, leaning on his elbows.


“Ah, got ‘em.” He turned around, brandishing a set of black leather cuffs, complete with chains and locks, at Vin.


“Dear lord,” Vin said. “From who?” His gut twisted unpleasantly, because as hot and wild as bondage could be, Vin was completely positive that there was no way, no actual fucking way, he was going to let Beau put cuffs on him that had belonged to Hector Lange. Too much visualization going on right there, way too much. Vin closed his eyes.
