Lyncoln Ryland always saw himself as an ordinary man with an ordinary job, working maintenance in an ordinary mall. The only thing about him that isn’t ordinary are his feelings for the man who’s renovating the mall, but any kind of relationship with such a sophisticated man is highly unlikely.<br><br>Adam James is the wealthy man who owns the mall. He’s secretly been yearning for Lyncoln, a man he doesn’t see as ordinary in the least. But Adam’s family has plans for him, and they don’t include a relationship with a blue-collar worker.<br><br>All this is about to change when the sirens go off, signaling the possible end of the world. When the two men realize this isn’t a drill, they take shelter in the mall that isn’t quite as ordinary as everyone believes. What will the outcome be when two such disparate men must survive the apocalypse together?

“What did I say?” Lync could hardly catch his breath. “Very resourceful.”


“What is it, Adam?” Was he changing his mind?”


“There’s something you should know. I…uh…I prefer to bottom.”


“Do you? Do you really, Adam? Then I’d say this will work out perfectly, since I prefer bottoms.” He raised a hand and ran the backs of his fingertips over the stubble on Adam’s cheek, then began to chuckle. “It looks like there’s one thing we forgot—again.”
