    Summary

    No, I don’t want to fall in love. This world is only gonna break your heart.

    Jack Abbot swore off love after his wife died. Casual is safer, it doesn’t leave a mark. But when a sense of rivalry with Robby turns into an unshakable fixation on his overlooked resident, Jack sets out to win him from Robby.

    He doesn’t count on Dennis running a game of his own.

    Dennis Whitaker swore off love when he first learned that falling for someone means giving them the chance to break you first. When Trinity notices Jack Abbot paying close attention to her roommate, Dennis and Trin hatch a plan: play the innocent and ask Abbot to help him “figure out his sexuality.”

    What starts as two careful lies snowballs into something else entirely.

    Jack thinks he’s just helping Dennis get ready for somebody else. Dennis thinks he’s protected as long as nobody finds out the truth. Both of them are wrong, and both of them know it.

    What a wicked game to play.
