To help out his sister, Scott moved to the small town of Montgomery, where there isn't much to do and no one for him to date. Well, there's one other openly gay man in town—Henry 'Cole' Porter, a widower who runs the school library, but after one drunken night together, Cole has kept his distance. Scott is used to that. He spends a lot of time working out, and from the slow way he talks and the frat house atmosphere at the fire station where he works, it's easy to assume he's stupid. Most people are happy to admire his body and assume that's all he wants from them, and deep down, Scott is too afraid to try asking for more.
Which is why Scott has been secretly pining after Cole for months when some of the town's nosier residents decide Cole has been single long enough. They have a plan to throw every professional gay man in a thirty-mile radius Cole's way, whether he likes it or not. Their list of candidates doesn't include Scott, and Scott's insecurities prevent him from stepping forward—even when it seems as though Cole is asking him to.
Cole is everything Scott isn't; highly educated, stylish, with refined tastes. He's also stubborn and sarcastic, and not nearly as smart about the workings of his own heart as people might think. It might take a lot of the wrong men for him to realize the right one has been in front of him all along.
