Drew Bryant isn’t looking for love. He doesn’t do relationships or commitment. Dating? Hard pass. So when his brother guilts him into participating in a charity auction date night, Drew is looking forward to it with the same sort of enthusiasm usually reserved for jury duty or community service. If it wasn’t for a good cause—and to get his brother off his back—Drew could think of a million other things he’d rather be doing. Especially when he sees the highest bidder.
Shane Gifford is pretty happy with his life. Mostly. Most of the time. Sure, there are a few things he might change if given the chance, but he has a good job, a nice apartment, and good friends. That’s enough to be thankful for, right? Until one of those good friends decides Shane needs to help out with an event at the LGBT center. That’s when everything in Shane’s mostly great life gets turned upside down.
One is straight, one is gay. One isn’t looking for love, the other doesn’t know what hit him. When Drew meets Shane, there’s no denying the instant chemistry between them. But what does it mean? How could it possibly go anywhere? Will one unexpected date be enough to make them both reconsider everything they think they know about themselves?
