โAn angsty, red-hot dance of doubt . . . this warm and funny story can stand on its ownโโfrom the author of Getting It Right and Finding Their Way (Publishers Weekly).
The last time Elliott fell in love, his fiancรฉ cheated on him. Now fresh out of rehab, Elliottโs confidence lags behind his libidoโnot that that stops him from lusting after the sexy carpenter working on his kitchenโfrom a distance. He wonโt risk his sobriety on another potential broken heart.
As half of an experienced home renovation duo, Augustus expects this job will be easy. Until he sees the houseโs tenant, a man he never thought heโd meetโhis exโs other man. Augustus knows he should say something about their secret, shared past, but heโs tongue-tied by their intense, unwanted attraction.
Despite attempts to keep things professional, the two men give in to temptation and forge a genuine connectionโand his developing feelings for Elliott leave Augustus in an impossible situation. If he stays, his secret will always hang over the relationship. But telling the truth might send Elliott spiraling to a new rock bottom and cost Augustus the only man heโs ever really loved.
โThe plot could easily have devolved into clichรฉ, but instead Arthurโs talent adds depth, and even the secondary characters leap from the pages.โ โLibrary Journal
