Colton
I thought owning my own place would mean I could dictate who could stay in my guest bedroom–especially who could be living in it. But it seems my father has other plans, and now, at twenty-seven, I have a roommate for the first time, and it’s not by choice.
Thankfully, Derek is a really cool guy, but the longer we spend together, the harder it is for me to keep a strict friendship between us. He says he’s straight, but the way he looks at me feels anything but platonic. It’s taking everything in me not to jump his bones.
But what would that do to our living situation and the friendship we’ve built? Things aren’t supposed to be this complicated, but I’m starting to wish the summer would never end.
Derek
Life in a small town like Westwend, Texas is exactly what I need right now—uncomplicated, mellow, and easy. As a family law attorney, stress is something I’m more than accustomed to, but when I’m on the edge of burnout and contemplating quitting law altogether, my old boss swoops in to save the day.
Now I’m moving to a blip of a town with the hopes it will help offer me a slower pace. Except when I fail to find somewhere to live due to the tourist season being in full swing, I find myself shacked up with my boss’s son.
You’d think it would be weird or awkward, but Colton and I quickly became friends. It’s easy being around him, and I find myself feeling more comfortable with him than most people in my life. That is, until one basketball game between us changes everything for me.
I’d always thought I was straight, but now? Now I’m realizing that Colton might be more to me than just my reluctant roommate.
