Surf Lessons (The Rule of Eric #3)
Thomas Carver

But nothing can last forever. Eric's dissertation is done, and now he's seeking a job. And that'll probably take him away from Santa Barbara, away from California, away from his friends – and ultimately far away from the surfing alpha male and all his dirty buddies.
After all, he can't just give up on his dreams of being a professor, just because of some sensual pleasure with a few arrogant alpha males. After all, he doesn't even like the guys.
But he's starting to love them and that might be reason enough to stay.
