He's a ballet and contemporary dancer at a studio in Colorado Springs, Colorado and he attends high school as a senior and has one and only friend, Jakub Lowe. Quinn lives with his mum, Hope, since she and his dad, Lyle, divorced.
William Malloy Jr. Is 18 years old, a senior in high school as well as the captain of the lacrosse team; he lives with his dad Will Sr. And his step mum, Grace. William has four male best friends: River and Rain Holt, Ian Brown and Konner Cline; River and Rain are identical twins on the lacrosse team while Konner and Ian are on the soccer team. William believes he is straight and has no issues with the LGBTQ+ Community since some of his friends are either gay or bisexual.
His belief about his sexuality is
challenged when he helps Quinn defend Jakub from being beat by four bullies and he has different feelings for Quinn than he has ever had for any other male.
Will Quinn and William stay strangers, become friends and then lovers?
Robin doesn't want to be a tutor. Tyler doesn't want to be tutored. So why are their tutoring sessions always running late?
***
After an illness-stricken childhood, Robin Erie struggles to free himself from his mother's suffocating embrace. Her plan for him is clear: he's to excel in school, take over his late father's business, and marry a suitable girl of her choosing.
Initially, college life offers nothing different from Robin's controlled and monotonous existence. Not until he meets Tyler Caster, a former soccer prodigy who struggles with restraints of his own after an accident took his left leg and made him crutch-bound. Tyler's sweet smile makes Robin dream of freedom and excitement.
Through a string of candy-filled tutoring sessions, Robin and Tyler grow close. Very close. Perhaps they're even flirting? Robin isn't sure, but he wants to find out. But he knows he can't let his mother find out about his bond with Tyler, since Robin has started to suspect that her influence over him might be more nefarious than he previously suspected.
Will Robin be able to break free from his mother's shackles to explore his budding feelings for Tyler?
