At seventeen, Noah Murphy had already learned that love is dangerous. After a sex tape destroys his life at Northbridge High, he's shipped off to St. Augustine University in Rome—a strict Catholic institution meant to "cure" him of his homosexuality. But some things can't be cured. When Noah falls for Matt, the university's golden boy and poster child for religious devotion, he thinks he's found his salvation. Matt is everything Noah isn't—perfect, revered, untouchable. Their secret romance blooms in stolen moments and hidden glances, until someone from Noah’s past—Ethan, his ex lover—threatens to expose them both in a school and society that detest them.
