On the cusp of his twenty-fifth birthday, Bo Sanford grows frustrated with
his directionless life. Slaving away at his father’s construction company all
week and partying every weekend leaves him little time for introspection, but
he knows it’s time for a change. When his best friend, Mac, drags him to a
college party, Bo catches sight of a girl. But not just any girl—the girl of
his dreams: a delicate blonde-haired beauty with a pink scarf and a smile that
promises warmth and humor. There’s just one problem: she isn’t a girl.
Even after
Bo discovers the truth, he keeps seeing Erick, and the choice to follow his
heart despite the obstacles has profound repercussions on not only his sense of
self but his relationship with his family and even his job. Being with Erick
makes him all the more determined to be his own man and claw his way out from
under his father’s thumb.
But Erick
faces choices of his own: the choice to get involved with someone redefining
his sexuality, the choice to trust again, and even the choice to believe love
can last beyond the temporary.

Length: Novel | Genre: Contemporary
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Paul
Auster doesn't. Paul doesn't believe in much at all. He’s thirty, slightly overweight,
and his best features are his acerbic wit and the color commentary he provides
as life passes him by. His closest friends are a two-legged dog named Wheels
and a quasibipolar drag queen named Helena Handbasket. He works a dead-end job
in a soul-sucking cubicle, and if his grandmother's homophobic parrot insults
him one more time, Paul is going to wring its stupid neck.
Enter
Vince Taylor.
Vince is
everything Paul isn’t: sexy, confident, and dumber than the proverbial box of
rocks. And for some reason, Vince pursues Paul relentlessly. Vince must be
messing with him, because there is no way Vince could want someone like Paul.
But when
Paul hits Vince with his car—in a completely unintentional
if-he-died-it'd-only-be-manslaughter kind of way—he's forced to see Vince in a
whole new light. The only thing stopping Paul from believing in Vince is
himself—and that is one obstacle Paul can’t quite seem to overcome. But when
tragedy strikes Vince's family, Paul must put aside any notions he has about himself
and stand next to the man who thinks he's perfect the way he is.
