Rory

Coming home to find my boyfriend in bed with another guy is not how I expected my birthday to go.

When my two best friends find out, they help me with moving my things out of the apartment and trying to find a new roommate. In the meantime they take me out to get my mind off Zach and get laid. I’m really not sure I’m up for it, but I let them drag me out anyway.

I’m not exactly the cream of the crop when it comes to the dating pool, and all of the messages I’ve been getting from Zach since I broke it off with him are only solidifying that in my mind.

To my surprise though, not only does a guy notice me, he’s got to be the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. But when I finally gather my courage and try to spice things up with him, it goes horribly wrong and I run away mortified and in tears. My only saving grace is that I’ll probably never see him again.

But then I see a response to my ad looking for a roommate, and when I show up to meet the guy the following day and take a look at the apartment, who should answer the door but Hottie McHotness himself.

Just shoot me now.

Parker

When I spotted the adorable little twink in the bow tie and suspenders at the club I was instantly attracted to him. All that wavy brown hair and the cute as hell glasses. But when he runs away in tears, I’m terrified I’ve done something to upset him, and I don’t know how to make it right.

When he shows up at my doorstep the following day and I realize he’s my potential new roommie I can’t believe my luck. He seems nervous and shy, but so sweet.

The more time we’re together, the more I realize what a number his turd of an ex did on him, and I’m determined to make sure he knows how amazing he really is, and that he deserves someone who will appreciate and care for him.

As the weeks go on I’m hoping more and more that that someone can be me.

Oliver

My entire life has been a lie, only existing as a sliver of my true self; shame, guilt, and loneliness eating away at me with the knowledge I can never be honest about what I want most in life. Until, by chance, I meet someone I can't resist, and I do something I never thought I would do. It's been ingrained in me since I was a child that who I am is not acceptable. That's why I'm dating a woman. That's why I tell myself I am content marrying a woman. But the gorgeous, outgoing boy behind the counter of the bar I end up at has me questioning everything I thought I had learned to live with.

Hunter

When I return home from college and discover that the man I slept with three months ago is the same man who is engaged to my mom, my world turns upside down. I havent been able to get the sexy British man out of my head since our steamy encounter, and I never thought I would see him again, least of all in my childhood home. I'm furious, heartbroken, and determined to keep the older man at bay, until Oliver reveals some things about himself that have my heart softening towards him, and confesses that he hasn't been able to stop thinking about me either.

Skyelar McKenzie doesn't believe in God. River Dawson was raised in the church and his faith is the most important thing in the world to him. It gave him strength when he needed it most.

Despite their differences, the two men have been roommates, and best friends for ten years. But things get more complicated when Skye starts to realize that his feelings for his best friend aren't strictly platonic. That maybe the pull he feels towards River, the desire to comfort him, soothe him, chase away his demons, and make him smile goes deeper than he thought.

When River starts to face unexpected health issues Skye is there for his friend just like he always has been, and the feelings grow even deeper. But how can Skye say something when River is straight? And is he really the best fit for his friend given their differing beliefs?

But then River starts looking at him in ways he hasn't before, and touching him in ways he hasn't before, making Skye wonder if River is really straight after all, and if, maybe, there's a chance for the happiness he's longed for with the most amazing man he's ever known. If maybe, River has feelings for him, too.

As time goes on, though, and River's health issues get more complicated, can Skye be the anchor his friend needs? Can they be each other's strength and courage when it looks like things are falling apart and the answers they seek aren't coming?

Will they find joy amid all the heartache and doubt, and will their love be enough?
