He’s exactly what David needs-in more ways than one.ĭavid isn’t ready for his attraction to Jackson, not considering the way his last relationship ended. Determined to persevere, Jackson takes odd jobs as a handyman. However, his hometown still has an active “good old boy” network, and finding employment in construction is almost impossible for an openly gay man.

But Jackson Henry couldn’t be further from that stereotype.ĭark-haired, muscular, and handsome, Jackson left a large construction firm in Seattle to take care of his sick mother.

When interior designer David Snyder buys a beautiful century-old house in eastern Washington, he is reeling with heartbreak and looking for somewhere to put down roots. But the true fear sets in when the criminal behavior escalates, and Michael realizes he might have lost the chance to tell Gil how he feels-forever.

He wants romance and forever, and he’s set his sights firmly on Michael. Gil is just Michael’s type with his solid muscle, wicked sense of humor, and the hazel eyes that seem to see into Michael’s soul. Sex is a different story, though, and the gentle giant who’s painting the mural in the old mansion they’re restoring might be perfect hookup material.
