A one-night stand with a guy in an open relationship introduces a whole new world to lonely college student Luke. When the pressures that left him isolated threaten to destroy his newfound happiness, can brilliant but damaged Nick and compassionate, insecure Evan keep him safe? Luke's parents, clouded by grief, isolated him and his siblings. Fortunately he's gotten away and has found intellectual fulfillment and a promising future in college. When he gets lonely, he can find an outlet for his physical needs in hookup apps. One of those hookups -- with gorgeous, kind graduate student Evan -- opens Luke's eyes to a world he hadn't been sure existed. Evan is in an open relationship with law professor, political strategist, and professional pundit Nick. They love each other, but each is drawn to Luke for his own reasons. Luke agrees to try something new, aglow with the possibility of finding both success and happiness. Not everyone is thrilled with Luke's choices. Some people from Luke's past don't like the thought of him being in a polyamorous relationship. They don't trust either of Luke's boyfriends, who come from very different backgrounds than Luke. And no one, not even they, know how far they'll go to get Luke back on track. Can Luke, Evan, and Nick find their happily ever after together?

Figure It Out

“Ah. That’s where I know you from. Mr. Driscoll. I guess I should have recognized the tattoos. Look, Mr. Driscoll—”


Luke gulped and looked up into Nick’s eyes. “Luke, please. If I can’t call you Professor while I’m naked, maybe you shouldn’t address me as a student while I’m naked either.” One corner of his mouth quirked up, in a kind of awkward half-smile.


Evan laughed. Luke had spirit. He could really like this guy.


Nick chuckled and stepped a little closer. “All right, then, Luke. I don’t know how much Evan told you about how we do things, but I’m certainly not going to object to you being here. We have a very open relationship. And I don’t know your feelings about changing plans, but Evan and I have been known to look for a third every now and again.”


Evan’s heart soared. He hadn’t even thought of talking to Luke about a threesome. He hadn’t expected Nick back for a couple of days. “You’d do that for me?”
