Jesse has a plan for love, and Brick isn't it.
Following his recent military retirement, the next chapter of Bainbridge "Brick" Hausman's life has begun. He's relocated to Texas to teach JROTC at the high school where his best friend, Zach, is principal and is ready to embrace his bisexuality after a long-overdue divorce. But for a man accustomed to structure and control, change is overwhelming.
Art teacher Jesse Berry's school year isn't off to a great start. He doesn't trust his principal or the tank-sized JROTC instructor who seems to enjoy pushing his buttons. To keep an eye on a vulnerable student, he's helping Brick coach the Academic Olympiad team instead of searching for true love. Yet their sizzling chemistry is undeniable, and they agree to some extracurricular fun. Until
fun
isn't enough for Jesse. He's ready to draw Brick into the husband-shaped placeholder in his fantasy life plan.
But Brick's new life plan is still a blank page. All he knows is he wants Jesse and is in no hurry to take a repeat trip down the aisle. Brick's not great at compromise and Jesse won't sacrifice his vision, but with a little faith and patience, maybe they can create a picture-perfect future together.
