Signed Copies of the Boys
Pretty boy Liam Walker is unlucky in love…
Liam
My newest obsession is nothing like any of my past hookups.
The tattoos? Not exactly my type. A perma-scowl and general leave-me-alone attitude? Yeah, that's the kind of thing I usually stay away from. And, sure, is it surprising that suddenly those things seem to be everything I want? Absolutely. But the most shocking part about all of this is that the person who's got me all out of whack... isn't a girl.
Bash is a six-foot-four-tatted personal trainer who seems to want nothing to do with me and my confused self. Until I'm naked, that is. And it's great when I am, but as soon as I'm dressed, he's more than ready to say goodbye.
But if there's one thing getting a taste of Sebastian Crawford has taught me, it's that one taste just isn't enough.
Sebastian
I don't know how to take Liam and his obvious crush on me, but it's clear that he did not sign up for the kinds of workout sessions I'm used to giving. So, I take him home, giving us both what we so clearly want, and settle on my choice to say goodbye as soon as it's done.
But that goodbye is a little harder than I anticipated, and finding out that our time together was his first time with a guy, period, has me regretting the way I so easily tossed him aside. Liam is more sensitive than I originally believed, and after being cheated on by his last girlfriend only to move on to me, I can't help but feel that he deserves better... better than me.
But if there's one thing getting a taste of pretty boy Liam Walker has taught me, it's that I'm willing to change my emotionally stunted ways.
Lover boy Cadence Howard is unlucky in love...
Cade
Kissing my best friend was a stupid mistake. It earned me a few good hits to the face by his hulking boyfriend, Sebastian, and I can admit that I deserved that. Agreeing to let my stepbrother move in is another stupid mistake, and every single day since he moved in feels worse than Sebastian's beefy fists.
Nicolas Aldana has always hated me. His dad marrying my mom ruined his life, and he never lets me forget it. And I hate him too. I don't care how big of a glow-up the guy has had, I. Hate. Him.
But what I don't hate is the way his hands feel wrapped around my neck...
Nic
My life has sucked ever since my dad left me and my mom. My mom fell apart and my dad couldn't care less. Why would he? He had a new wife and a better son to love.
I can't stand my stepmom, but I hate my stepbrother. He's the son my dad loves and the friend everyone wants to be around. That's why living with him has to be temporary. There's just no way I can handle being couped up with him for long.
But there's just something about the way he takes my hate...
Good boy Baby Holbrook is unlucky in love...
Baby
I'm a stickler for rules, and for good reason. They keep life simple. Predictable. Safe. My roommates might not agree, but I think they're a necessity. Which is exactly why crushing on the one straight guy in the apartment is a terrible idea.
Logan Matthews is a rule breaker. He's shirtless at inappropriate times, allergic to knocking, and somehow convinced that pretending to be my boyfriend is no big deal. But for me, it most definitely is. Between all the hand-holding and praise, I'm finding it harder and harder to remember this is fake. The kisses feel real, the touches are lingering, and I'm forgetting what it was like to not have this beautiful boy's attention all on me.
There's only one way this ends, but if there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that Logan Matthews is worth the heartache.
Logan
I'm a firm believer that there are some rules that are meant to be broken. My favorite roommate might not agree, but I'm pretty sure I can change his mind.
Baby thinks I can't handle being his fake boyfriend just because I'm straight. He doesn't understand how much I already like being near him. I don't spend my nights watching eighties movies because I like them. I do it because it's the only time he lets his guard down. What started out as a favor he didn't ask for has become the realest thing in my life. I just hope I can convince him I'm worth the risk.
It may be easier said than done, but if there's one thing I know, it's that Baby Holbrook is worth the fight.
