Max has spent years fantasizing about his best friend's boyfriend, Tommy. The beautiful, All-American jock is untouchable, the kind of straight-arrow perfection that only exists in magazines and Max's dirtiest dreams. So he flirts, pushing boundaries just to see that addictive blush creep up Tommy's neck. It's a harmless game, a delicious but forbidden sport. Until the night the game changes forever. In the dark of a movie theater, with Jenn innocently beside them, a simple touch ignites a fire that consumes them both. One stolen blowjob in a deserted parking lot isn't a mistake. It's an addiction. Suddenly, the walls between them come crashing down, and the fantasies become a raw, sweat-slicked reality that's more intense than either of them ever imagined. Now, Max has the one thing he never thought he could have: Tommy. But every hard, breathless thrust is a betrayal. Every 2 a.m. text, every secret rendezvous in museum halls and public restrooms, cements the lie they are living. Tommy is spiraling, torn between the sweet, simple love of the girl he thinks he's supposed to want and the soul-shattering, obsession he has for Max. The secret is a beautiful, thrilling poison. But secrets this big don't stay buried, and they're about to learn that the most beautiful betrayals can only lead to one place: total and utter destruction.
