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

A disgruntled Boon said, “Okay, I’ll go to the ER. But, wait, I don’t see the dude who called you for us.”


Ryan walked out of the corner and over to him. “This is my office, but I’ve been staying out of the way. I saw the cable break and dialed nine-one-one. Ryan Halloran.” He extended his hand.


Boon sat up and pulled him into a quick hug—man to man. “We owe you for saving our lives. Big time.”


Ryan stepped back, embarrassed and a little unsettled by the hug because it felt too good and didn’t seem necessary under the circumstances. “If I’d known you were just practicing for the Cirque, I might’ve reconsidered.”


Everyone laughed, and Boon gave him a little salute as they rolled him out.


“Boon and Dane and I are good friends,” the captain said, extending his hand. “He’s right—you saved their lives by making that call. Thanks.”
