Jonathan Edwards: Itinerant Preacher

Part of the Faculty Club series

Timothy Banfield, a religious studies professor at UMass, has built his life on discipline, intellect, and a quiet devotion to faith. So when he meets Jeremy Royer, a psychology professor still haunted by the death of his first love, he finds himself confronted by a smoldering lust that threatens to tear his quiet life apart.

When their paths cross, friends-with-benefits starts to look like something more—rooted in long conversations, shared music, and the best sex of their lives. As the seasons turn in Massachusetts, that bond deepens, and intimacy begins to blur into something neither man can ignore.
