**From Google Books:** "As a closeted professor at Gold River College, Daniel Neuhaus pretty much knows what to expect from life: teaching English composition courses, writing scholarly articles, and surviving divisive faculty meetings take up most of his time. In his quest for a tenured position, the thirty-year-old Daniel doesn't have many chances to meet interesting gay men. Until Matthew Reid signs up for one of his courses. Matthew, a handsome campus swimming star, at first seems to be like most other college students: young, energetic... and straight. But soon student is urging teacher to dive headlong into a relationship that goes far beyond the classroom walls. Both Daniel and Matthew sense the rewards - and the risks - that their growing love entails. But how could either of them anticipate the consequences that lay ahead, before semester's end?"--P.
