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

So now Ryan knew the type of underwear Boon preferred. He was a boxer briefs guy himself, and he’d have thought someone with a package as large as Boon’s would have been more comfortable with the support they provided.


Good heavens, what am I thinking about?


Ryan had left the bedroom before his body could react naturally to the sight of those boxers and what they might contain. Out here in the garden, he was safe from discovery if it happened again.


He insisted Boon stop to eat lunch. He’d ordered sandwiches from the deli, and Boon ate with the hearty appetite of a man his size. That his manners were good surprised Ryan—his surprise probably a result of Boon’s tattoos and Ryan’s biased attitude. Cinnabons were the dessert. This time Boon didn’t turn them down.
