Synopsis
Seth Griffin is forced to live out his
wildest dreams at the expense of his best friend, the man he loves.
Seth Griffin's life was basically on
track. Attend Cornell, double major in Mechanical Engineering and Astronomy,
play basketball, and room with his best friend, Kevin. So what if he had a
hopeless crush on his gorgeous, straight friend.
When Maynard Frederick Winthrop IV buys
all of Seth's family's debt and threatens to foreclose, everything Seth has
worked for is in jeopardy. Winthrop offers Seth a deal: spend a week at his
mansion, a place that seems to defy logic and violate the laws of physics,
performing challenges of Winthrop's choosing. If Seth succeeds, all will be
forgiven.
But can Seth do as Winthrop asks,
especially when Kevin is the one who will pay the price?
Excerpt
“There’s one thing I don’t understand
about you. You’re gay. You’re out. You live in a liberal state, but you rarely
hook up, no boyfriends, nothing. What gives?”
What? Why did Winthrop know he was gay
or care?
“Excuse me. I don’t see how that’s any
of your business.”
Winthrop’s brows climbed. “Believe me.
It’s my business. Everyone has needs, but you live like a monk.”
“I’m a double major across two colleges
and a varsity athlete. I don’t have time for a boyfriend, and I’m done with
hookups.”
Winthrop shook his head, a frown marring
his face. “That’s crazy. There are even a couple guys on your team who have
offered to blow you, bottom, top, whatever, but you keep refusing. Even on
those away games, alone, in a hotel.”
“Look. Enough of this.” Seth slammed his
hand down on the table. “I came here. I sat through this meal. It’s done. You
clearly have my family and me over a barrel. Isn’t it time to tell me what this
is all about?”
“As you wish.”
