Merrick Kitchi was once a famous rock and roll star. Now at the ripe old age of thirty-two,

he’s quickly becoming a has-been in the fickle music industry. Desperate to rise to the top

again, he agrees to meet with some network executives to discuss participating in a reality

television show. To his dismay, he finds out his roommate, Samuel Meriwether, is not only the

sexiest thing he’s ever seen on two legs, but he’s gay as well. This is a problem for Merrick,

who has kept his homosexuality a secret. Desperate to be a household name again, he

agrees to become roommates with the sexy Sammy, vowing to keep his hands and his secret

to himself.

No one is more surprised than Samuel when he is chosen to be roommates with the sexy

Merrick Kitchi. He’s not sure what a gay librarian and a womanizer like Merrick will have in

common, but he’s willing to give it a shot. Soon Samuel realizes there’s more to Merrick than

meets the eye and not only do they become good friends, but there’s an attraction between

them that neither man can deny. As their feelings and attraction to each other grows, will Mer-

rick be able to step out of the closet and into the light, or will fear of the unknown keep him

deep inside?

Chapter 1

There were days when one knew they should have stayed in bed and Merrick knew that

today was one of those days. The persistent throbbing headache and queasy stomach re-

minded him of the tequila shots he had overindulged in at the party the night before.

The bright florescent lights blared through the dark lenses of his sunglasses. Hoping to

block out as much light as possible, he pushed them up higher on his nose and closed his

eyes. He made a silent vow to lay off the tequila permanently if he could get through the day

without throwing up.

All he wanted to do was lie back down and sleep it off.

Instead of being snuggled up in his comfortable bed, here he was sitting in the middle of a

boardroom listening to a bunch of suits trying to convince him to put his life on display so the

whole damn world could see.

“As popular as reality shows are right now, we believe an audience will become addicted

to watching you. This could lead to some really great publicity for you. You’ll once again be-

come a household name and people will start caring about your upcoming projects, like your

next album for example,” one of the suits droned on.

Even though they had just been introduced moments earlier, Merrick couldn’t remember

the guy’s name. All corporate men in suits looked and acted alike to Merrick so there was no

way he could keep up with them, and frankly, he didn’t give a damn about them one way or

the other.

They were all here for one purpose and one purpose only.

Money.

In the past year, Merrick knew his career had hit an all-time low. Just a few years ago,

everything Merrick had touched had turned gold. He was on top of the billboard charts and

the darling of the recording industry.

But in the last couple of years, things had started to change.

After a lacklustre reception for his last two albums, Merrick knew he was in danger of be-

coming a has-been at the ripe old age of thirty-two.

“I’m still not sure what you want me to do,” Merrick said as he silently vowed to start pay-

ing closer attention to the suits instead of focusing on his dry cotton mouth and the jackham-

mer that was going off in his head. The suit gave him a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.

“Well, it’s quite simple really. Its common knowledge that everyone is fascinated by

celebrities and the lifestyle that they lead. People want to know what goes on when the spot-

light is turned off and when celebrities like yourself, go home and become Merrick the man in-
