Produktbeschreibung

Eustace Dailey has a Harvard degree, an artist's eye, an active social life, and more money than he knows what to do with at his age. He should feel on top of the world. Instead, he constantly second-guesses his choicesespecially when it comes to Jeremy.

Jeremy Jacob Carter has confidence, charisma, the perfect girlfriend, and only a year left in law school. He is supposed to have it all, but a chance connection with Eustace threatens to undermine everything he worked so hard for.

Along with their fraternity brothers Miles Johnson, Ian Kenney, and Adrian Collins (from the Potomac University Series), the men stumble through their adult years in search of brotherhood, friendship, love, and purpose.
