College Boys of New Haven

Troy: Of course, I fell for a football jock. But Jackson and I are polar opposites. He's popular, confident, and as hot as hell in a tight T-shirt. Me? I'm just a scrawny, awkward nerd. Another point of difference: he's straight. As if my crush on him isn't bad enough, Jackson is assigned to be my partner on a year-long project, and I have no choice but to spend time with the hottest guy on campus. Bummer. But the attraction is intensifying. We're on a collision course. I shouldn't be leaning in... I think I'm going to kiss him. Jackson: Sweet. I got partnered up with the biggest nerd on campus. If I play my cards well, a passing grade is guaranteed. Troy's all shy and awkward, a classic nerd. But there's more to him than he's showing. And it's making me curious. I want to see him come out of his shell. I know he would be better off if he let his guard down. I want to be his friend, but he thinks I'm just another dumb jock. Except, I see him looking at me the way I could never look at him. Am I sending the wrong message? Is he falling for me? He's leaning in fast... He's about to kiss me. And I'm not even ducking. Contains mature themes.

Mason I loved Leo from the moment I met him. But life gets busy when you grow up. Leo took good care of me, and now he needs someone to take care of him. I must step up and be that person. Except I can't do it alone. Leo I could carry everyone's worries on my shoulders but mine. In just a few days, my dad ruined our family and the only person I can lean on is Mason. He worries and cares and I love him endlessly, but our lives are messy with no signs of improvement. Can we endure this on our own or is the solution to all our problems right under my nose? Quinn I never meant to fall in love. That's just not what I do. But Mason and Leo could use some help and who better to help them but their best friend? The more I'm with them, the more I realize I'm going down a dangerous road. Of millions of possible outcomes, all are bad but one. Do we even stand a chance? Contains mature themes.

Miles: Studies astrophysics? Check. Loves Star Wars? Check. Still a virgin at twenty-one with zero experience in real life? Double-check. I didn't want any fanfare around my twenty-first birthday. But when a series of unfortunate accidents confirming Ramsey's rules of randomness takes place right in front of my eyes, I find myself dancing with the hottest, most popular jock on campus. Liam makes me feel special. He makes this night one to remember. He becomes the very first boy I ever kissed. Except it's all a charade. He's just making his crazy ex-girlfriend crazier and I'm happy to play along. But when the door is closed and his ex isn't around to see us, are we still faking it? Liam: Am I going through one helluva breakup? Yes, I am. Am I coping with it by dancing with the first guy who accidentally pissed my ex off? You bet I am. Hayley and I were supposed to spend our lives together. Well, that was the plan until she changed the plan. Oops, the nerd just kissed me, and you can bet your life I kissed him back. Now she knows what it feels like. And I discover it feels way better than I expected. Contains mature themes.

Dallas: Kai's nothing like I expected. The scrawny kid I once knew is gone, replaced by a nerdy, curious young man who crawls deep under my skin. The moment he enters my life, he disrupts everything. I shouldn't want my best friend's little brother. But I've never been great at resisting temptation. What starts as messing around in secret, soon becomes a lot more serious. I'm gambling my friendship and risking more than I should. But I'm falling, and I'm falling hard. Kai: I've had a crush on Dallas since I was old enough to crush. He's my oldest fantasy, he's also an obnoxious, insufferable, smug jock with the stupidest adorable dimples and a gorgeous... Uh... Where was I? Oh right, he never noticed me except when I was the punchline of his jokes. He's also the very definition of a guy I shouldn't want. But Dallas and I have an agreement: no strings attached. That way, we get to have fun, and nobody needs to know. No harm done, right? Now I'm falling for him faster and harder than ever despite knowing what's at stake. The only way this ends is with a lost friendship and a broken heart. It's too late anyway. I'm in free fall already. Contains mature themes.

Isaac: When my roommate-to-be opens the door wearing nothing but a wet towel, I know one thing for sure: my world is about to be turned upside down. A wrestling jock, a hottie, and as straight as a plank, Hunter is not the guy I should want. But all the shoulds and shouldn'ts fly out the window when it turns out that Hunter is actually a huge geek and not as straight as I thought. The fact that my high school crush asked me to wait for him until after college only makes my problems worse. But some terrible timing and an unlocked bedroom door end up being less of a problem than the ticking clock. Can this college-only fling really be all that I have ever wanted? Hunter: My new roommate is a total cutie, which is the weirdest way to describe a guy when you're straight. The more time I spend with Isaac, the less certain I am about everything I thought I knew. Either I am not myself, or I never have been. The weird thing is, I've never felt more alive. It doesn't matter, though. A no-good, terrible, horrible guy from his past leads him on with the sweetest promises and I'd be a fool to get involved. Yet I need to have him, even if it's for a little while. Contains mature themes.
