Matt:

My foster home is all right, I guess. But I've got bigger places to be than down on the farm with the chickens.

Tonight's my night to break free.

Matt's enemies-to-lovers gay romance can be found in the full-length novel, Freshman Blues: A Gay New Adult College Romance, but this short story prequel gives you a peek into his teen years. Rest easy. The story doesn't spoil the novel, and the novel doesn't spoil the story, so you can read either one first.

The Great Escape Blues and Freshman Blues take place in the world of the Last Chances Academy series--an all-male elite college for bad boys where gay romance thrives.
