Pete has always been an overachiever. The young mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has spent his entire life laser focused on work. Between school, internships, military service and a political career, he never had time for a personal life. All that is about to change. In the span of a few weeks, Pete goes from carrying a gun in Afghanistan wondering if he will make it home alive, to realizing he only has one life and he needs to make the most of it. It doesn't help matters that he's still in the closet.
After finally finding his place in the world as a teacher, Chasten is ready to settle down with a husband, a dog and some kids. A quiet and drama-free life is what he craves. Why did the cutest guy on his new dating app have to be a popular politician?
This is a biographical romance, based on true events. Some creative license has been taken with the story to fill in the gaps of missing information. If you have knowledge on anything I got wrong, please send me a PM and I will fix it. Thank you!
I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what?
...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend.
I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything?
So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right?
But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy.
