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

“Maybe. I totally did when I took his class.” Luke looked down again. “I’m sorry. I know he’s your boyfriend.”


“It’s okay.” Evan grinned. “I can see the appeal, let’s put it that way. Anyway, it’s a little late in the day for me to get all freaked out, right?” Something in him, a weird little jealous part, pointed out that Luke was younger and better suited to Nick. He was strictly a bottom, for one thing. Then he had that praise kink thing going on, which would certainly ring all of Nick’s bells. Who was to say Nick wouldn’t just focus on Luke and abandon Evan?


Evan ignored that little voice. For one thing, it was putting the cart before the horse. For another, he knew Nick wouldn’t do that to him. They’d been through enough together he knew he could trust Nick.


And what was more, Evan loved the way Luke got turned on by Nick.
