    Summary

    Tommy is used to being the one who shows up when things go wrong. He’s less prepared for what happens when life forces him to stay.

    Six months is a long time to put everything on hold—long enough for old ghosts to resurface, for buried feelings to demand attention, and for someone he never quite moved on from to step back into his life.

    Summary

    Zayn has been working the same alley for three years. It’s simple, it pays, and it usually ends the same way every time.
    One day Liam shows up, some rich first timer who has no idea what he's actually doing.

    For some reason, he keeps coming back. Every Friday.
    Same car. Same quiet conversations. Usually food.

    Zayn keeps telling himself it’s just a client.
    It would be a lot easier if it actually stayed that way.

    Summary

    Tommy stared down at the picture and didn’t move an inch as he tried to process what he was seeing. 

    It was of Evan, his pale skin glistening with sweat as he smiled, holding the door open for someone outside of his apartment building. 

    Mason put down another picture and then another, making the cold shock in Tommy’s veins turn brittle with each one being presented to him. It was obvious from the photographs that Evan hadn’t known his picture was being taken. It had to have been captured with a long lens of some kind. Evan, at his apartment building. Evan, by his Jeep outside of the grocery store. Evan, in his uniform, taking out the trash at the back of the firehouse, alone and surrounded by shadows. 

    “I really wished you’d said yes, man.” Mason leaned back and tipped the picture up to stare at him. “Cute kid. Got that birthmark thing? He’s a firefighter too? Calls himself Buck, right? Let’s take this somewhere else, huh? You can tell me all about him.”  

    An old army buddy of Tommy’s comes into town with a proposition. When Tommy refuses, he learns that Evan Buckley is a pretty good tool for persuasion.

    Summary

    Mickey likes his life. He likes his flower shop, working with his hands, the people around him, and most of the time, even the fucking hipsters who stumble into his store.

    What he absolutely don't like is that unbelievably rude, disrespectful, insanely hot firefighter asshole with no manners and no spine. The prick who moved in next door and is literally robbing him his sleep and driving him up the fucking wall.

    Summary

    “Oh Christ. You’re the baker?”

    His words pluck Alex’s most sensitive nerve. It’s the same pompous skepticism people use when they’re trying not to say the offensive thing out loud. You’re a bit young, aren’t you? or Someone like yourself should have more realistic expectations. and his least favorite Maybe you should tone yourself down a bit to appeal to a wider customer base. Annoyance vibrates through him.

    He crosses his arms. “That’s my name on the building, sweetheart. Is that going to be a problem?”

    OR, Alex is hired to make a wedding cake and Henry is his most annoying customer ever.
