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

Luke might have been the most responsive man he’d ever been with. He was tight, but his body seemed to want to accept Evan right away. It didn’t take long for him to relax enough to take another finger, and then a third, rocking back onto Evan’s hand as though the secret to life itself might be on it.


Evan was more than happy to oblige. He rolled a condom onto himself, slicked himself up, and worked his way into Luke’s hot body with short, shallow thrusts. Luke moaned as his body made space for the intrusion, and Evan reached around to make sure his cock got some of the stimulation he needed. It helped to distract him from the need to thrust, to take, to build up friction before Luke’s body was ready.


Nick tilted Evan’s chin up and claimed his mouth for his own. Evan submitted eagerly. There was nothing he wouldn’t give Nick, if the means were his. He breathed in the scent of his man, the taste of him, and Luke’s body adjusted around him.
