A Rumor and a Grebe

Aspen Elliot isn't the worst person I could be stuck with on a school project, but it's a close call. He's confident, popular, and far too aware of his own good looks, but Aspen isn't immune to gossip. We're trapped overnight together, with no cell service and no distractions: the ideal opportunity for him to dig deeper into a particularly embarrassing, painfully personal rumor I really hoped would just go away. Curiosity is a slippery slope.
Aspen's interest started out teasing, but it's escalating in ways neither of us could've seen coming. At eighteen, I was meant to have sworn off confused straight boys and be focused on graduating and getting the hell away from small-town life. Instead, it seems everything I do to discourage Aspen only makes his fascination escalate. The sex we're having may keep getting better, but the risks are growing faster; my plans to fly under the radar until I can escape to college are floundering in the face of Aspen's hurtling self-discovery.
With the chances of a clean break looking less likely by the day, why is it so hard to figure out if I'm just another conquest to him, an experiment, or maybe something more?A Rumor and a Grebe is a spicy enemies-to-lovers m/m high school romance from the author of Jock Auction and The Hitchhiker.
