Chip is looking forward to a stress-free summer before starting college in the fall. He returns home from boarding school and reunites with his father, Carlos. Little does he know that they have guests coming over for dinner. Topher is Chip’s childhood friend and the sexy guy of his dreams. They reconnect almost immediately and Chip’s old feelings come rushing back, feelings he’s kept to himself all these years. However, before they can enjoy summer vacation, Chip’s father and Topher's mother announce their engagement. It comes as a shock, as neither Chip nor Topher knew their parents were romantically involved in the first place. As they grow closer together, Chip and Topher find their feelings for each other deepen past friendship into something more. If only their parents weren't in love, too. Will their feelings put their blended family at risk?

“Look, Chip, I get it. It’s awkward that we’re going to be family now. But it is what it is, right?”


I gave him a rushed nod and masked a frown. This wasn’t fair at all. And why had he kissed me anyway? All it had done was make me want more. I couldn’t stop wanting him if I tried, and this foreign desire I hadn’t always felt grew to a level that was impossible to ignore.


I sighed and didn’t want to think too much about it. The fact that I wanted to have a stress-free summer only got in the way of things because I had to eventually find something by this fall to avoid being unemployed for much longer. “Nope. I’ve been looking, though. I’ll find something soon enough.”


“Yep. Graphic design, mostly covers for books and whatnot. Logos, too. How about you? What have you been doing lately?”
