Owen’s been crushing on his gorgeous, straight neighbor from afar, but when Dylan starts hanging out? Flirting back? He’s so screwed.
Owen
I’m nearing forty and reduced to crushing like a goddamn teenager every time Dylan walks my way. He’s straight, my neighbor, and this is nothing but a pipe dream, but hey, a guy’s got to have something. Especially since I can’t seem to keep a boyfriend. Between running Alchemy Ink and keeping up with my own tattoo clients, there’s no room for romance.
Dylan
I’m officially at rock bottom. Successful salon? Gone. Group of friends? Gone too. I’m restarting my career and building a client book over in the ‘burbs, and I’ve never been this lonely. However, when my neighbor starts inviting me over and cooking me dinner, I start noticing things I never did before. Like how comfortable I feel around him. Like how attractive he is. Flickers of something that sure as hell feels a lot like lust…
And when Owen offers me a hair and makeup gig at his best friend’s bar, we’re together nonstop, and those feelings turn into something powerful that burns and burns and burns.
However, if this spark between us extinguishes, I don’t think I can survive another fall.
