Alexander Popescu is a university lecturer in a quiet German town. HeтАЩs a respectable man in his thirties who stays fit, has a decent career and travels aloneтАФhis only vice is an occasional greasy meal. And beer. And violent computer games. Nobody has to know about the other AlexтАФthe acclaimed smut writer. His ingenious fantasies earn him good money and keep his capricious mind harmlessly entertained.
When his young friend and prot├йg├й Christian transfers to Freiburg for medical school, Alex is overjoyed...and terrified that Christian will find out about AlexтАЩs indecent alter ego. The time they spend together, as lovely as it is, could overturn AlexтАЩs carefully balanced life. Suddenly, the writing is not good enough, his hair seems to be thinning, his careful hookups leave him unfulfilled, and his dreams are haunted by the innocent young man heтАЩs vowed to protect.
However, Christian is not a boy anymore. HeтАЩs a grown man of twenty-one, clever and deadly attractive. And heтАЩs hiding some secrets of his own.
