Description

About the book

The contractor is six-foot-six. The denial is somehow bigger.

Nathaniel Bell has always known who he is: husband, father, forensic accountant, responsible adult.

Then his marriage ends, his new Brooklyn brownstone starts collapsing around him, and Luca Reyes walks through the front door carrying enough lumber to derail Nate’s concentration completely.

Luca is fifteen years younger, openly bisexual, and far too observant. He notices every time Nate watches his hands, every question Nate asks about men, and every breath Nate forgets to take when Luca gets too close.

Nate wants answers. Luca refuses to become an experiment. If Nate wants him, he has to ask for him.

Their professional boundaries shift. Curiosity becomes hunger. Nate discovers that the enormous man everyone assumes will take control becomes beautifully still whenever Nate tells him he has done well.

But the house has a deadline, a developer wants the property, and Nate’s family thinks the relationship is just another post-divorce crisis. Luca can wait while Nate understands himself—but not forever to be publicly chosen.

Nate bought the brownstone to prove he could rebuild a life. Keeping Luca means stopping hiding inside the walls.
