Description

📖 Paperback Edition — One good hand. One thin wall. His best friend’s little brother on the other side of it.

Callum Reed has a system for everything.

Daycare bags. Delivery schedules. Two three-year-olds and a custody calendar he could recite in his sleep.

He does not have a system for a broken wrist. Or for Avery Sloan.

Avery is his best friend’s little brother. He’s twenty-nine, deadpan, covered in ink and paint, and he needs a place to stay for six weeks. A spare room in exchange for a little help around the house should be simple.

Except the wall between their bedrooms is thin. Except Callum has one working hand and eighteen months of nobody touching him. Except Avery has wanted him for six years, and he’s done pretending otherwise.

One kiss against the refrigerator, and Callum finds out what it’s like to be told to stop managing, lie back, and take it.

But Avery didn’t wait six years to be the help. He wants a vote, a door that closes, and a man who chooses him when it isn’t convenient.

And Callum is about to learn the difference between needing someone and making room for them.
