John Wainwright is having a momentous day. To start off, he lands his first teaching job. Then his brother, Evan, and Evan's husband, Daniel, take him out to celebrate in Manchester's gay village. An encounter with a sexy man forces John to admit what he's been denying for too long-he's gay. His coming out proves he's supported and loved by his family and roommates. What more could a man want? There's just one small problem: John's dishy Head Teacher, Brett Sanderson, and John's gigantic crush on him. Too bad Brett is straight.


Brett Sanderson leads a double life. At thirty-three, he is the Head Teacher of a primary school. But for seven years now, during every school holiday, Brett has fled to Brighton, where he becomes 'Rob, ' a man who has a different guy in his bed every night but has never had a relationship.


Once he's back in school, Brett is firmly back in that closet, until his newest staff member starts prying open the door. When John pulls out all the stops to get Brett's attention, neither man is prepared for the consequences.
