    Dare loves challenging convention. As a Dom who looks more like a twink, Dare doesn’t mind second glances and getting people’s attention. Since he’s an exhibitionist and not shy at all, most of the time, he likes it. But when two hunky jocks spend their evening at a local club staring at him, with no intention of actually talking to him, he knows he might have found exactly who he’s looking for. Scott and Ryan aren’t sure if they’re ready to challenge convention. Carrying secrets is getting to be harder than Ryan and Scott ever imagined it would be, which is why they were almost ready to confess the things they’d worked so hard to keep private for years—especially from each other. But when Dare comes along and makes it clear he knows exactly what the sexy, muscular best friends are hiding, they have to decide if it’s worth coming out again for—because sometimes, it’s not just sexuality that gets hidden in a closet. When one dominant almost-twink lands in the laps of two sexy, not-so-submissive-looking hunks, they each have to decide if they’re ready to take the next step and admit what they desperately want.
