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 was ravenously hungry, and the eggs and bacon tasted wonderful. Suddenly, he stopped. “My briefcase!”


“I have it.” Boon paused as if to approach a sensitive subject.


“While I waited to see if you were going to be okay, I opened it to see if I could tell if they’d rifled through it. If they took anything, they didn’t leave a mess.”


“I’ll be sure if everything’s there.”


Now Boon paused, as if what he was about to say would upset Ryan. “I know I shouldn’t have, but I read those papers. I read the script, and I’m afraid my opinion is it’ll be a box office flop. Why would people pay to see a drama of such unrelenting darkness? None of the characters have any redeeming qualities, and evil men win.”
