When he sees entrepreneur Mitch O'Shea whirling around an empty building, contractor Ben Behr is enchanted. Even though his two brothers are gay, Ben always thought he was a ladies' man until he met Mitch. Despite his feelings, Ben knows San Francisco native Mitch is totally out of his league. What could Ben possibly do to get out-and-proud Mitch to notice him? Turns out Mitch is just as attracted to Ben. As they compete in car rallies, camp in the Sierra Nevada foothills, and tour the bars Mitch owns in the city, they realize how stifled they've been their entire lives. Maybe looking over the fence and jumping it to explore what's on the other side are good ideas. When these two seemingly opposites get together, will Ben and Mitch find out they have the world at their feet and might even have love in their hearts?

Mitch gave me the old side-eye and smirked.


Then we were all off like jackrabbits, changing lanes and accelerating like we were going to run the range. Only our range consisted of three lanes leading to a tollbooth before we snuggled in close together to cross the bridge.


Fortunately, Mitch had FasTrak, so we sailed through the toll area and picked up our cluster of stop-and-go friends to buttfuck our way across the water.


“I’ve been trying to come up with how to introduce you at my clubs,” Mitch started as we stopped again.


“So just bring me to them. What’s to introduce?” I groused.
