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.

Back in his office, he sank into his chair. Something had to be wrong with Buck. By nature he was abrupt, blustery, and demanding, but he’d seldom been so mistaken about a story or the financial risk. DreamMagic had never had a film that lost money.

He picked up the telephone. “Art, how’re things?” He listened with relief to the voice of the reasonable person coming to him from the other end of the line. Arthur Bodman was an entertainment attorney and could be counted on to provide sound legal advice and keep his counsel to himself. “Glad things are going well for you. I’m good. Thanks for asking. I need your thoughts on something. Can you meet me for lunch in about thirty minutes?” He dropped his voice. “I’ve a place in mind people here don’t patronize. Great. I’ll see you there.”
