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

“Yeah, we’ll talk about it. Send me the travel arrangements and I’ll be there.” At least South Beach would be warmer than Richmond in late October.


For half a minute, Evan toyed with the idea of dragging his lovers along with him. He was positive that Luke hadn’t been to Miami before, and Lord knew Nick would benefit from a little rest and relaxation. Maybe he could even get Nick to turn off his cell phone…


He shook his head and went to grab his laptop. Midterms were an issue for Luke as well as for him, and Luke’s uncle was supposed to be in town any day now. Hadn’t he been supposed to show up at the beginning of the week? And Nick would need a lot more than two days’ notice to disconnect from everything, especially now that he was helping Sarah Adams cope with her cheating husband.
