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

Wiley wasn’t charmed. “Call me sometime, Ryan. Maybe we can do business together.” Wiley handed him his card.


Wiley shrugged and returned it to his pocket. “See you around.” He looked smug. As if he had a secret he was waiting to reveal.


“Not likely, Mason. I don’t think we move in the same circles anymore. Haven’t for a long time, although not nearly long enough.”


Mason flushed. He turned and walked away, swaggering into the crowd.


Boon worried about Ryan. He’d paled and was shivering slightly. Maybe he hadn’t fully recovered from the Pig Stile episode. He threaded his fingers through Ryan’s and leaned in to whisper in a pseudo-Sopranosvoice, “Hey, boss, want me to take him out back and ruin that pretty-boy face of his?”


“Come on, let’s find our seats and get something hot to drink and some food. I’m hungry.”
