Lachlan Doyle's biggest problem seems to be which girl to invite to prom. Everyone thinks the golden boy of Royce High, captain of the football team and senior class president, has a charmed life.

Everyone except me.

To me, he's the sad-eyed boy next door. All my life, I've overheard what goes on at his house and wished I could save him from it. I know that underneath Lachlan's smiling, flirty exterior is a very broken human being.

One who has to fake interest in cheerleaders and so desperately wants to escape his horrible home life that he auditions for the school play just to be out of the house in the offseason. He'd rather spend hours rehearsing with the weird drama kids than deal with his family.

Except Lachlan didn't know when he accepted the lead role that he'd have to kiss a guy-me-in front of the entire audience. And he didn't know that I've had a crush on him forever. Although he might be suspicious, given what we get up to when no one else is around.

Regardless, there's no chance we'd ever be together for real. The only time the popular jock and the emo goth make sense as a couple is when we're both acting like someone else.

All an Act is a steamy gay romance about two high school seniors. All spicy scenes feature characters who are 18+ years old. This is a stand-alone MM romance about the one person who sees who you really are. Expect confessions in the dark, fake kisses that turn into more, and raw courage. HEA.
