Gold Brothers

DUSTY GOLD College is weird. One second you're studying for a huge exam in integrated physics and the next you're secretly drooling over the sexy rugby player living in the dorm next door. The second after that, you're sharing a bed with that same Insta-famous jock, staring up at the ceiling and wondering what in gay heaven caused such a miraculous and terrifying thing. Maybe inviting him to stay at my family's house for the summer wasn't the greatest idea I've ever had? BRANDON REED I freakin' loved college. I loved being able to play rugby the most; losing myself to the game, watching the crowds in the stadium grow bigger with every win. Rugby gave me an escape. Then Dusty Gold springs into my life. After we end up as surprise roomies, a spring busts on his bed and we go from roommates to snuggle buddies. Snuggling somehow turns into staying with him over the summer at his family's animal sanctuary. Soon, I find myself falling hard for the handsome and shy nerd. I've got a messy past, though, and Dusty's got a bright future. Will my ghosts ruin us before we could ever really begin or will we both get a once-in-a-lifetime shot at a happy ending? Contains mature themes.

BENJAMIN GOLD: I thought I was going to be a successful sports star, maybe a famous veterinarian, or maybe I'd open up another sanctuary, following in my moms' footsteps. None of that happened. Life's light seemed to turn off for me, and I was having a really hard time turning the spark back on. Then, on my twenty-fourth birthday, in comes the one surprise I wanted most and liked the least: Rex freaking Madison. My older brother's best friend, my first crush, my first time. And my absolute worst nightmare. Somewhere, deep down under the cobwebs in my chest, a spark lit. REX MADISON: I'd been coasting, living under my dad's oppressive shadow while using his bank account to keep rent paid and alcohol flowing. Now, I was being blackmailed for a sex tape I never consented to. My best friend offered me a place to stay, and I took it. One look from Benji was all it took for everything to derail again. It had been six years since we saw each other last, ending an incredible time on a terrible note. Benji had taught me how to love myself-all of myself-back then, and now I wanted to return the favor, no matter how much time may have separated us. Contains mature themes.

MAVERICK GOLD: Before I met Theo, I was fine with occasional hookups and drowning myself in work. I didn't realize how burnt out I was getting until he came into my life and showed me what a good time really meant, roping me into situations that blew my mind (among other things). Both our worlds get rocked completely off course when Theo receives shocking news that changes everything. Meanwhile, the stalker obsessed with my family takes their attacks to a whole new level. The situation pushes us into leaving New York and going to my family's animal sanctuary, where Theo and I grow even closer while the threats grow deadlier. THEODORE PEREZ: I never imagined myself falling for someone, especially not as hard as I fell for Maverick Gold. But life surprises you sometimes. Surprises in life, in the bedroom, in my job at Stonewall Investigations. One thing remained constant throughout: my explosive chemistry with Mav. That connection is what helped me handle the shocking news that was dropped into my lap one day, altering the entire course of my life. At the same time that I found myself working on the biggest case of my career. Yeah, life definitely likes surprises. Contains mature themes.
