Colin Hunt, a vivacious and outspoken art student, is a comic-reading, anime-loving, all-around geek. What he lacks in size, he most definitely makes up for in personality. But things have been tough for him lately. A heavy workload. A showcase to prepare for his final. A sick mother to take care of. Ever the optimist, he's more interested in finding someone to have some fun with rather than finding anyone serious. For Dexter Erikson, life has been difficult ever since an accident left him in foster care and cost him part of his arm. After discovering music therapy, he found an outlet for his pain and the perfect way to express himself. Now, sporting tattoos and piercings, Dexter is the lead singer of a pretty kick-ass punk rock band and owns the stage like it's nobody's business. He’s also goofy and dorky, shy and bashful, with a bad habit of falling in love yet a horrible fear of commitment. So what happens when vivacious geek meets shy punk rocker? The first answer is a lot of sex. The second answer might bring both Colin and Dexter to places they never dreamed possible.

“I…” His voice sounded so far away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


“Sure you fucking do,” Colin growled and then marched over to Dexter’s keyboard, snatching up the papers there. “What’s this, Dexter, hmm? You writing your own songs here? Maybe cause, you love being in a cover band and all but you’re dyingto perform your own stuff?” Colin raised his eyebrows, lips still pursed, and Dexter couldn’t bring himself to say a word. So Colin went on. “You think I don’t know that you’re too afraid to try?”
