Ryan Halloran is attracted to Boon Andrews the moment he sees him on the window cleaners’ gondola outside his high rise office. But horror sweeps through Ryan when a gondola cable snaps, and his call to 911 saves the lives of Boon and his co-worker. Although the near-fatal accident brings these two men together, never could two men be further apart in lifestyle and social status. Boon, a tattooed high school drop-out, wears earrings and dresses in frayed cutoffs and Doc Martens boots, and he cleans pools and windows for a living. Ryan, however, holds a master’s degree from the most famous film school in southern California and, as the elegant, cultured, and self-controlled vice president of a motion picture studio, he dresses in Versace suits and Bruno Magli shoes. Despite their differences, Ryan not only responds to Boon’s carefree spirit and relaxed manner, he lusts for him. And Boon discovers his craving for nude sex play with this man turns out not to be based on gratitude that Ryan saved his life, but out of love. As Ryan wrestles with work problems that could mean the loss of the film studio, he also falls deeply in love with the one-of-a-kind Boon. But when they start appearing in public together, and a former lover makes an appearance, the differences in their social status may well destroy their future.

Hangin' with My Window Man

“They’re here,” Ryan told the dispatcher. “Thank you so much. You’ve saved these men. Yes, I’ll wait until you hang up before I do.” When she did, he replaced his phone in the charging cradle and stood out of the way of the rescuers.


“What did you do, Boon? Gnaw that cable loose with your teeth?” Captain Barrington asked as he peered out the window at the platform.


Doc Martens said, “No, Bear. We’re out here practicing for a Cirque du Soleilperformance in the Music Center. Is Dane with you?”


“I’m here, buddy. We’ll get you off there safe and sound,” the firefighter named Garrison said.


It took several tries before the grappling hook he was tossing caught. A second firefighter hooked another area, and then that man and several other men sat on the floor and braced their feet against the wall below the window. They pulled the gondola tight against the outer wall.
