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 usual. You know—school, work. My other job.” He shrugged. “Nick’s up to his eyeballs in all of this stuff with the Parental Notification bill, which is mind-boggling. I can’t believe that nonsense has any traction.”


“Right?” That, at least, Luke could talk about. He could talk about it all day, given an opportunity. “I’ve been fighting it as hard as I can, but it doesn’t feel like there’s much I can do. I don’t have a lot to donate, and protesting only goes so far when your congressmen are falling all over themselves to support it.”


“I know.” He rolled his magnificent eyes. “Did you see him on TV the other night?”


“I saw the clip.” Luke looked down, and Evan laughed a little.


“Maybe.” Luke looked back up at him. “Is that bad?”
