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

The dogs lay down and put their heads on their paws. Mournful eyes looked up at them. Ryan laughed. “They clearly know they were doing something naughty.”


A game of volleyball was in progress beyond the reach of the smoke from the barbecue. Ryan had played on the volleyball team in college and been considered good at it. Saturday, he’d purchased new sneakers and khakis, so after he’d eaten his fill he stepped into a game after someone dropped out.


He sensed Boon’s presence the minute Boon stepped on the grassy court beside him. Sensual radar or something,he thought. He just knew. They made a great pair playing at the net. Their side won, but Ryan knew his limits and waved someone else in. That man wasn’t as attuned to Boon as he’d been, and they lost the next game despite Ryan cheering them on. Boon pleaded host chores and left the court.


Later, he took a seat next to Ryan’s lawn chair. “You were great. You’ve played before.”
