A Summer Called Desire

Benji- I have had a crush on my brother’s best friend since I was 12 years old. Let’s say I had an awakening and I never looked back. After my freshman year of college where I major in debauchery and drinking, I’m home for summer break and plan on making a splash. My ex-boyfriend, Morgan, still has feelings for me, and I do him too – but it’s my childhood crush Ty I can’t get out of my head or my fantasies. However, after all my college conquests, my battered player’s heart is filled with an overwhelming sense of numbness that makes me question everything. Even though I look at Ty and Morgan, and know I have feelings, how can I trust that they’re true?

Ty- I wish life were simpler, but I’m resigned to lie in the bed I made, even if it has turned into an epic dumpster fire. I’m twenty-six years old and already in a relationship that’s falling apart. I love Aaron, but he’s unhappy, and that means I’m miserable. Sometimes, love isn’t enough. No matter how hard you try. As I grapple with the feelings that come with such a difficult situation, along comes Benji like a freight train. I’ve always thought of him as a kid brother, since his family has taken me in as one of their own. He’s always had a crush on me, but he’s also been a hot mess for most of his life. He’s not in love with me, but will he realize it soon enough? If not, he might just ruin all our lives.
