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

“It’s not for me to criticize your family. And I think we all know why your uncle wants you to go away for the holiday. But that’s not what we asked. Luke, this is your home too. Do youwant to stay here for Thanksgiving?”


Luke hadn’t known he had a lump in his throat before, but all of a sudden he couldn’t breathe. He was drowning, but he hadn’t been near the water. Most Thanksgivings he just hung out on campus and studied. “I…are you sure?”


Nick nipped at Luke’s shoulder. “Yes. We’re sure. We want you here. We love you. We’re building something here, and we want to spend the holiday with you. We’ll spend every holiday with you if you let us.”


Luke staggered. The thought of spending every holiday with these guys was almost more than he could take. “I mean—really?” Way to go, very eloquent, proof you’re an educated man.
