Tired of relationships gone bad, Doctor Nick Davros has sworn off dating. Between his student loans and his erratic work schedule, he doesn’t have the time or the energy to spare. Of course, that’s when Construction Supervisor John Turner walks into his clinic. Not just once, but twice. Despite his attraction, Nick is determined to not give in. He couldn’t bear it if John became the one sitting across the table giving him the break-up speech. John Turner is tired of being alone and wants a family again. He gave up a scholarship in favor of construction work in order to raise his brother and sister. Now, just like his college boyfriend, they are embarrassed by his blue-collar life. He’s attracted to the delectable Dr. Davros, but when he makes his move Nick turns him down. When tragedy strikes, it’s up to Nick to make a house call they’ll never forget.
