As a closeted professor at Gold River College, Daniel Neuhaus pretty much knows what to expect from life: teaching English composition courses, writing scholarly articles, and surviving divisive faculty meetings take up most of his time. In his quest for a tenured position, the thirty-year-old Daniel doesn't have many chances to meet interesting gay men.Until Matthew Reid signs up for one of his courses.
Matthew, a handsome campus swimming star, at first seems to be like most other college students -- young, energetic . . . and straight. But soon student is urging teacher to dive headlong into a relationship that goes far beyond the classroom walls.
Both Daniel and Matthew sense the rewards -- and the risks -- that their growing love entails. But how could either one of them anticipate the consequences that lay ahead, before semester's end?
