Guys on the Bottom — Darien Cox

Zach has worked long and hard to change his life and restore his dignity after the humiliating breakup with Corey two years ago. But bad luck has forced him to backslide again, and he fears that no matter how hard he struggles, he'll always be a guy on the bottom. Until he meets Duncan, a much older man who takes a professional interest in Zach, boosting his shaky confidence.

But Zach is wary of Duncan's motivations, even as he finds himself increasingly drawn in by his intense gaze and whimsical charm. To complicate matters, Duncan has a surprising connection to Zach's ex-boyfriend Corey, forcing his past and present to collide, and Zach wonders if he's really heading toward a brighter future, or if he's once again on the path to self-destruction.
