It's a fine line between love and hate and these just might cross it as they dance on the edge. Butterflies, racing hearts, tears, and stolen kisses. What happens in Rome, stays in Rome. Or does it?

[Featured in FreetheLGBT: Diverse Literature reading list and Humor: Young. Dumb. Full of Fun list] Colin Mitchell, a photographer at a well-known store, Snapshot, is openly gay--mostly. His ideal experiences are sexcapades that are always subtle, never out of line and straight to the point. (Ironic, isn't it?) However, he meets Peter Chu: a snarky Chinese student with a loud mouth and more issues than Vogue. His intriguing persona has Colin enraptured and willing to throw away his CADBMBB- 'Clients Aren't Dated, But May Be Banged' principle--and take things further than they've ever gone with any guy. Circumstances push both their lives together, with Peter seeking to find his own path after a bad break up and a significant move. Colin is willing to walk that blazed trail with him--in more ways than one. But there is one problem... Peter is as straight as they come. Kinda. ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ Highest rankings: #1 in blindness- 31/07/2020 #1 in freethelgbt- 24/01/2021 #1 in gay- 22/05/2021 #4 in teenfiction- 22/05/2021 #4 in bxb out of 78.5K- 20/05/2021 #4 in pride- 09/11/2020 Warning: Contains mature language, violence and steamy scenes.
