BENJAMIN GOLD: I thought I was going to be a successful sports star, maybe a famous veterinarian, or maybe I'd open up another sanctuary, following in my moms' footsteps. None of that happened. Life's light seemed to turn off for me, and I was having a really hard time turning the spark back on.

Then, on my twenty-fourth birthday, in comes the one surprise I wanted most and liked the least: Rex freaking Madison. My older brother's best friend, my first crush, my first time. And my absolute worst nightmare.

Somewhere, deep down under the cobwebs in my chest, a spark lit.

REX MADISON: I'd been coasting, living under my dad's oppressive shadow while using his bank account to keep rent paid and alcohol flowing. Now, I was being blackmailed for a sex tape I never consented to.

My best friend offered me a place to stay, and I took it.

One look from Benji was all it took for everything to derail again. It had been six years since we saw each other last, ending an incredible time on a terrible note. Benji had taught me how to love myself-all of myself-back then, and now I wanted to return the favor, no matter how much time may have separated us.

Contains mature themes.
