The Hetero Project (BXB)
'Don't you want to just let go and be yourself?' My voice is barely a whisper, but I know he hears me. His body shudders as my fingertips brush his cheek, and blood rushes in my ears as he smiles. 'Only if it's with you.' Things have changed in the last hundred years; where the United States was once a country that embodied freedom, it's become a restrictive and manipulative nation. There's no religion. There's no free speech. And most of all, there's no right to love who you want. In the new American Republic, being gay is a crime punishable by death. But those rules don't stop anyone from fucking around; especially Rhydian and his four best friends. There's only one huge problem: Rhydian's the heir to the largest corporation in America, and his friends are all in similar positions. If the successors are killed for being homosexuals, the companies will fail. So, when a new way to change your sexuality is showcased at an underground convention, the five boys are sent to be the test subjects for the Hetero Project. What they don't count on is the romance that they'll find along the way. But what once seemed like an innocent experiment is a far more sinister plan to destroy all that's left of the American Republic's freedoms, and Rhydian and his friends are the only ones who can stop them. But when it comes down to love and freedom, is there really a choice?
