"I guess if the worst thing I'm doomed to in life is mediocre sex, my life isn't too bad." Self-starter and business analyst Zach Keller is living his dream life. He spends his days working from home in his favorite Tolkien t-shirts and pajamas while mothering his best friend-slash-roommate. The fact that his sex life is a bust and his love life is nonexistent? Unimportant. After his college boyfriend berated him for his unconventional desires, Zach doesn't plan on sharing that part of himself ever again, anyway. "I'm tired of feeling like I missed out on something by not going to college." Craig Pela isn't lonely. He has tons of friends and weekends packed with activity. He hasn't needed anyone since he left home at eighteen and never looked back. But everyone around him is moving forward in life, while he still works the same retail job at the same video game store, and it's making him question his life choices. After all, he doesn't want to be the loser still playing video games at fifty, does he? As their relationship develops, Zach's shy nature melts away to reveal an irrepressible geek that charms the pants off Craig. And Craig's kind patience and ability to match him obscure quote for quote leaves Zach wondering if he's finally met the man he can be his true self with. After all, how can someone else love you when you keep a part of yourself hidden?
