Dexter is rudderless and headed down a dark path. Cyrus knows the young man has great potential, but will Dex let him prove it before it's too late? Just Dex is an opposites attract, D/s romance featuring a young hobby baker and a Dom who's made his lifestyle his career.

When Dexter Appleton's best friend Huck commits suicide, it damn near kills Dex too. Huck was a bull rider with a crazy life, and leaves behind a big house, and a ton of unanswered questions. But Dex is just a simple guy, just a Texas redneck trying to scrape together a life, and he can't handle much more before he breaks.

Cyrus Hughes is a therapist whose patients have very particular needs. He's shocked to learn that Huck is gone after meeting with him twice a month for years, and he didn't expect to miss a client so much. When he heads to Texas to pay his respects, he instinctively feels protective of Huck's anxious and unlikely best friend, Dexter.

The attraction between them grows, even long distance, until Cyrus insists he needs Dex with him in New York. Clinging to his last bit of hope, Dex takes a leap of faith and moves what little he still owns in with Cyrus, hoping to find his place in the world.

Their path is full of trial and error, triumphs and misunderstandings. Cyrus and Dex will have to adjust their expectations to create a life together...one where Dex understands that he is not "just" anything.
