Two people. Two secrets. An instant attraction that neither understands.

Victor loves the ranch. He loves his family. He even loves the work. From his uncle to his sister, he grew up watching them find their forever person. He wants that. Craves that. But as close knit as the family is, theres a secret he keeps hidden far below the smile on his face.

College is supposed to be his break. He can finally experiment and be himself. With a barely-there roommate, his mind starts dreaming of the ways he can decorate his room. Where his room growing up was the typical boy stuff, Victor wants this to be different. He wants the space hes living in to resemble how he feels on the inside. His safe space.

Tawson Lancaster is trying to start over, but he's haunted by a trauma that took everything from him, his wife, his home, his friends. Now, he's living in a one-bedroom house on a ranch and driving to the university to teach English. He's taking over for the beloved Professor Cadman and has big shoes to fill.

What he wasnt expecting was the son of the ranch owner. An instant attraction that Tawson cannot understand, they steal moments together whenever possible. Their relationship is on a fast track and neither of them seem to know how to slow it down, but when Vic shares his deepest secret, how can he possibly walk away?
