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

The Communications department had a little studio set up, and they were happy enough for him to use it during off hours. Students got a little extra experience with the equipment, and he got to do interviews from the comfort of Richmond.


Everything was ready for him when he got to the Communications building. All he had to do was sit down and look at the camera. He blinked a few times as his eyes adjusted to the bright lights, the producer gave him a warning, and then he was live.


Tonight he was a guest on an immensely popular show from New York, one he himself enjoyed. The hostess, Elaine, was one of the most brilliant people in media. He smiled when he saw her face on the screen across from him.
