❝Love is an illusion of a hopeless heart.❞
Life for Colby Bennett has been an endless roller coaster ride of emotions. In the eyes of many Colby has a picture perfect life, being raised in a well-kept home, an amazing All-American boyfriend, and a wild-heart best friend. You wouldn’t expect Colby to be struggling with his emotions. What the normal eye doesn’t see is the everyday struggle Colby has to go through; his boyfriend isn’t as perfect as he makes himself to be, being a homophobic homosexual. And his family has a tendency to shun and treat him differently then before he came out.
The only steady thing in Colby’s life is his best friend, keeping him intact and on his feet, but what if that isn’t enough anymore? What if Colby needs more than just a best friend to make his day just a smidge brighter but someone to love him unconditionally? Well, needn’t look too far, Colby finds someone who will help him control all his emotion and possibly teach him the true meaning of love.
Could Elle Levitt be the one to lead Colby’s life back on track or will this very mysterious, charming student take him on a trip of expected turns, hardship, and quite possibly new love?
(straight up suck at these but trust me, it's definitely worth the read!!)

"Colby?" Avery asks, his voice wavering only slightly. I turn to him, cursing at myself for hesitating, if only for a minute. "Yeah?" "Do you have a crush on me?" My heart shatters, but I can't lie.

I pause, taking in a shuddering breath. "This doesn't have to change anything. You don't --" He snatches my hands. "You wanna touch me, Colby?" His sudden boldness stops me in my tracks.
