One month of forced proximity in a tiny jail cell. One fake relationship that soon starts feeling deliciously, and dangerously, real…When 24-year-old former college football star Sutton Nash walks into Roscoe State Penitentiary for tax evasion charges, his rough-and-tumble cellmate Drake Rios instantly sees that sheltered, privileged Sutton is in for a rough ride.So Drake offers Sutton a deal. Drake is the most feared man in Roscoe, and in return for money, Drake will protect Sutton by pretending to be Sutton’s “prison boyfriend” for the duration of his stay.According to Drake, all they’ll have to do to convince the other inmates that Sutton is “spoken for” is stick together, pretend to be close, and pretend to fool around in the showers every morning. As long as they follow those rules, Sutton will be left alone by the other inmates.Sutton is straight, but with no other options, he reluctantly agrees. But soon, their “arrangement” starts feeling almost like a real relationship. Drake is becoming Sutton’s closest confidante, and Sutton is enjoying their “faked” hookups in the showers more and more with each passing day. But as the lines of their "arrangement" start to blur, so does Sutton's sense of safety...Because how can you stay safe when the one person who is supposed to protect you is also the one person you suddenly have no defenses against?And once both men are freed, how could a relationship between two "straight" men from two totally different backgrounds ever work in the real world? less
