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

“Ryan’s in there. Good girl, Cinnamon.” He patted her head and scratched behind her ears.


When they approached Bear, he slipped a guide dog’s harness with a bridge handle on her. “Do Not Pet Me I Am Working” was lettered on her vest. “They can’t kick her out when she’s wearing this. Use her leash, not the handle. If anyone asks, say she’s in training to search for dead people in water. That’ll shut ‘em up fast.”


Dane took the leash and handed it to Boon, then hand-signaled her to stay with Boon. “I’ve shown you how to signal for a silent alert, and she’ll follow your command. When I see you go in a door, I’ll give you a minute or two and come in. You manage Ryan. I’ll search for the video camera. Any questions?”


“In you go, through the gates of hell.”
