Pacific Rim University may as well be another planet from the Oakland neighborhood where Angel grew up. Angel’s fought all his life to get respect, and to stay hard in the eyes of his friends back home. Always the weird kid, Angel was the guy who never hooked up with girls. Meeting his very sexy, very male Film TA, Angel starts to understand why. He refuses to admit he’s gay, but he lives for every one of Shane’s smiles. When Shane takes Angel to task for his insolent attitude, Angel can’t resist pushing his TA further. He wants Shane to show him, force him, make him accept all the feelings battling around in his mind and his body. But Angel doesn’t just need sex. He needs a man who can help him navigate the new and very raw landscape of his feelings. less

Two months filming his first movie away from school have left Shane Roberts a changed man—humbled, conflicted, and more than anything scared that his boyfriend Angel won’t love him anymore once he finds out Shane’s weaknesses. Excited as Angel is to have Shane home, Angel wonders why Shane feels like a stranger. He knows Shane has a wall up, but has no idea how to rip it down. When the opportunity arises to explore a ménage with an old friend of Shane’s, Angel is initially wary, but hopes that the experience will help jar him and Shane out of their funk. If there’s one thing Shane is still confident about, it’s his abilities in the bedroom. So despite their high blood alcohol level and his niggling worry that sharing Angel with another man will ruin their relationship, Shane tries to give Angel the sexual experience of a lifetime. But real world failures are tougher to handle than the silly hijinks Shane got up to in college. This time, the very thing Shane’s always relied on to hold Angel and Shane together backfires spectacularly. Shane fears he’s pushed Angel away right when he needs Angel the most.

But maybe if Shane opens his heart, he’ll find Angel loves him not only for his successes, but also for the man he is inside. less
