Freshman Chase is desperate for some time to himself. Taking care of personal business is hard enough when you’re nineteen and painfully shy, never mind when your pleasure preferences require balancing upside-down. The chance of getting caught in his dorm room isn’t the only precarious part of his playtime.

A side-hustle housesitting gives Chase the opportunity he’s been thirsting for, only to run headlong into Elias. Handsome, sexually-omnivorous, and breathtakingly blunt, the beguiling older guy instantly triggers Chase’s prey instinct. How can he run, though, when Elias’ hedonistic confidence steamrolls Chase’s indecision so addictively?

When Chase’s roommate stumbles on their secret play, he doesn’t need to pry about what Chase is into: the answer’s abundantly clear on his face. And once that messy truth is out, Chase’s weakness for power play and exposure are about to get put to the test.  

The intentions are good but the aim can be questionable, in this high-heat queer coming-of-age story from the author of “Jock Auction” and “A Rumor And A Grebe.” It’s intended for adult readers.
