Story

The story

Lillian Quentin has secretly loved her childhood friend Charles Xavier for years, so when she stops by his place to retrieve a forgotten key, she is stunned to overhear him with another man and assumes he is gay. Reeling, she decides to give up her unrequited crush and move on.

But the man leaving Charles' room, Laird Borden, introduces himself as Charles' classmate, and Charles' easy teasing leaves Lillian flustered and unsure what is really going on between the two men. Clinging to her resolve, she hides away the love letter she once wrote him.

That night she calls her college friend Jennifer Minogue and asks her to meet at Moonlight Bar, determined to let go of the past and start something new.

Opening excerpt

By accident, I overheard a conversation between him and another man.

"Stuck, damn it!"

"What should we do? Want me to help?"

"Sure, come on over!"

"Get lost. Just get stuck there."

I clamped my hand over my mouth, eyes wide as saucers.

The guy I had a crush on was gay!

I stood frozen outside his room, reeling from what I'd overheard.

Who would have thought that the guy I'd been secretly pining for all these years was gay?

My heart sank as I processed the information. Even though it was an unrequited crush, it still stung.
