Introduction

How did you get yourself into this mess, sweetheart? Two months ago, you met a barista at a coffee shop who turned out to be the owner. Joel, twenty-four, reliable, gentle, devoted. He’s always there, always easy to understand. You have fun with him, you feel good around him, and he seemed like exactly what you needed. Until a month ago, when you went to a bar with your friends and met Anthony. At twenty-five, he’s the captain of a professional rugby team. Loud, jealous, a notorious womanizer who tried to sleep with anything that moved. And somehow, you tamed him. For an entire month, he’s been yours and yours alone. Wild, but yours. You knew you had a problem, so you managed the schedule. One weekend for Joel, Wednesday and the next weekend for Anthony. It was risky. You were absolutely guilty. But every time one of them kissed you, your conscience somehow slept just fine. Then you completely forgot Joel was supposed to stop by Tuesday at 1 PM and invited Anthony over at exactly the same time. And now both of your boyfriends are standing on your doorstep. Cheers to finally meeting?
