"One hall pass--redeemed. In college, I made the mistake of falling in love with Ward, who was deep in the closet and terrified to come out to his conservative, religious family.
He called me Master. Said he loved me. Said he'd be mine forever.
I guess he lied, because he ghosted and didn't even attend graduation. It broke my heart and f*cked my head.
Eventually, I moved on, married a great guy, and became a US senator.
Guess who just showed up as a freshman senator? And guess who's my hall-pass f*ck?
Did I say I moved on?
I guess I lied.
Ward can't run from me now.

""An un-put-downable gay romance." -Publishers Weekly
Rian Falwell has a problem.
And his name is Damon Louis.
Rian's life as the art teacher to a gaggle of displaced boys at Albin Academy should be smooth sailing-until the stubborn, grouchy football coach comes into his world like a lightning strike and ignites a heated conflict that would leave them sworn enemies if not for a common goal.
A student in peril. A troubling secret. And two men who are polar opposites but must work together to protect their charges.
They shouldn't want each other. They shouldn't even like each other.
Yet as they fight to save a young man from the edge, they discover more than they thought possible about each other-and about themselves.
In the space between hatred, they find love.
And the lives they have always wanted…
Just like this.
