It's soft until it's hard.

Sam Yarmark is going to be a detective. He's done everything right?the trainings, the homework, the performance evaluations. He's even got a mentor. So, when the chief of police tells him his lack of community involvement might cost him the promotion, there's only one thing to do: get involved. Fast.

Gray Dulac is putting his life back together. After a self-destructive spiral, he's finally found solid ground in the nonprofit he founded to help victims of intimate-partner violence. The only problem? Funding. And when a consultant tells Gray that his bad boy reputation is keeping donors away, there's only one thing to do: fix his image. Fast.

When Sam shows up at Gray's nonprofit, looking for an opportunity to pad his resume, Gray sees a way they can help each other: Gray will make sure Sam gets the community endorsements he needs if Sam pretends to be Gray's loving?and stable?boyfriend.

What could possibly go wrong?
