Rock U

I've escaped my small town to attend college in Phoenix. It's time I quit living a lie and break free of my strict Mormon background. So, what do I do? Join a pop-punk band as the lead singer. And if that's not enough, I'm determined to embrace my gender fluidity. When a tall, dark, and handsome man walks into the bakery where I work, I'm ready. My virginity isn't all I'll lose. As he becomes the most accepting and supportive person I've ever met, he might steal my heart.

I’m the lead guitar player in a punk-pop band and I get hit on a lot. But I’ve got a big problem—a crush on my older brother’s best friend, Remy. Of course, he’s straight. So instead of having him, I’ve become the king of hookups. I’m used to hiding my feelings behind teasing and innuendo. But that only drives him further away from me.

I met him on a beach, and he stole my heart. Then it turns out he's my professor. Will he choose his new career, or us? Caleb Allen I play bass guitar in an ever-popular pop-punk band. I wasn't looking for love, but it found me anyways. I was healing from the trauma of gun violence by vacationing with my best friends and bandmates. Then he blows into my life, turns it upside down and gives me the safety and love I need.

Getting rescued in a dark alley should’ve been the end of the story. Instead, it was the beginning of everything I never saw coming.

My life is already a balancing act—law school, my band, and hiding who I am from my father. Being gay isn't part of his perfect plan, so I keep my secrets locked down tight. Then he sends Jeremy. He's supposed to be my bodyguard. My shadow. My problem. But he's also too observant, too stubborn, and way too damn attractive. He follows me everywhere, watching me like I'm worth protecting. And the more time we spend together, the harder it is to pretend I don't want him. Because if my father finds out? I won't just lose my future, I'll lose everything.

My life is finally starting to fall into place. My band is leveling up. We're playing bigger gigs. And I'm one step away from landing my dream job, even if it means leaving everything behind. Including him. Ryder Scott has always been my best friend. The one constant. The one person I've never stopped wanting… even when I knew I couldn't have him. Because he was straight.
