The Youngblood children have faced many crises in their young lives, including battling the danger and intrigue that come with carrying on the once-notorious Damon Santorno's bloodline. But navigating love as teenagers has its own perils, especially when jealousy and revenge decide to crash the big dance. In other words, just another slice of Santorno life. As the kids stumble their way through high school, it seems everyone has caught the love bug. Damon Youngblood is ready to commit completely and take the next step with Tyler Dion. Damon's childhood friend, Mark Andrews, thinks he's found love -- until he gets sucker-punched when he discovers that his boyfriend has a pretty serious skeleton hanging in that closet he came out of. Enter Paul Greystone. He puts the 'stud' in student, and while Mark's hormones scream 'yes, ' his heart cautions 'not again.' Besides, getting through Paul's defenses is like dealing with a raging bull with a suit of armor thrown in for good measure. Well, they DO say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
