Ethan had his junior year at Redmond University all planned out: go to more parties, make more friends, and date more girls. But everything changes the night he hears Dreamscape, an local indie band fronted by the magnetic and mysterious Greyson Hyun.

Grey is the kind of guy who turns heads, and not just because of his voice. He’s confident, captivating, and for some reason, he seems just as drawn to Ethan as Ethan is to him. What starts as a chance encounter at a bar becomes something Ethan can’t stop thinking about.

Grey’s music follows him everywhere… and so does Grey. He’s showing up at parties, Ethan’s classes, and even in Ethan’s dreams. Ethan has never really fallen for anyone before, he’s not even sure if he believes in love. But the more Ethan gets to know Grey, the harder it becomes to ignore what his heart is trying to tell him.

He was Adam. He was straight. He was just my friend.

We weren’t actually dating… until everyone thought we were.

This was the year my mom’s guilt trips finally worked. I was going home for Christmas. Not ideal, considering I hadn’t been back since I came out. And I definitely wasn’t planning to bring a date.

But then Adam, my very straight, very hot best friend, offered to come with me as a buffer.
Great, right?

Except somewhere between the long drive, the awkward dinner, and my uncle’s latest homophobic joke, Adam decided to kiss me. In front of everyone. Just to shut him up.

Now my entire family thinks we’re a couple, and instead of setting the record straight (no pun intended), we’re going along with it.

It’s all fake.
At least, it was.
But the more we pretend… the less I want to.
