Two single dads. One unexpected love that shatters every certainty.
Upon learning his late uncle bequeathed him his White Pines, Vermont home, gay New York novelist Myles Parker decides to move there with son, Joshua. When they arrive, Myles learns the home has fallen into disrepair. Adding to his concerns, the neighbor next door is as unwelcoming as he is handsome.
Since construction worker Adam Tilson’s wife left him and their son, Flynt, a dozen years earlier, he’s shunned relationships that exceed an evening. He isn’t keen on making friends with the sophisticated city guy who moved next door. But when his son and his neighbor’s click, Adam’s resistance lowers, especially once Myles offers him a lucrative house renovation project.
Guilted by Flynt, Adam hosts his neighbors until the Parkers’ home can be habited. Although Adam believes the proximity will be an annoyance, he and Myles bond as single fathers and friends. When their boys begin to behave like the four are a family, Myles worries his growing feelings for Adam will be unrequited, and Adam grapples with his attraction to a man.

I kept as close to the edge of the bed as I could, considering he was hogging so much of the mattress. Just when I turned away from him, he rolled over to his other side and spooned me.
"Hmm," he grunted.
“Adam?” He didn’t answer. Instead, he rested a hand on my hip and his heavy breathing resumed. I don’t remember when I fell asleep. I was too aware of his touch, his breath, his hair and his body heat. I wanted to hate it. I wished I had the strength to push him away from me. “I think I’m falling for you,” I whispered to him, knowing he couldn’t hear. “And I know it’s going to make me miserable,” I added.
