Summary
After learning the truth about why he was born, Buck makes the most deliberate choice of his life: he applies to Asterbridge House, a private matchmaking service he’s been saving for since he was eighteen, because more than anything, he wants a spouse, children, and a home that lasts.
He does not expect to be matched with Tommy Kinard.
Tommy is older, steadier, richer, and far better at seeing through Buck than Buck is ready for. He listens carefully, kisses gently, and makes room for Buck exactly as he is, which would be easier to enjoy if Buck’s family didn’t think he was making a mistake. It would be easier still if Maddie wasn’t trying to fix his life for him, or if wanting something for himself didn’t feel so much like betraying everyone else’s expectations.
Somewhere between first dates, family betrayals, crossed lines, and one very bad fire, Buck has to figure out whether he can stop asking permission to want the life he actually wants — and whether Tommy might be a place to land.

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
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.

Summary
Alex hates twitter.
He has it because Steve, his manager, physically restrained him and downloaded it on his phone, he jests...
‘Have a social media presence Alex’ Steve says
‘Tweet what you think’ Steve insists.
‘You’re a comedian Alex, it shouldn’t be that hard’
Well, Steve is twenty fucking five. Steve is hashtag hip and cool and how actually, in the ever living fuck, does he think that the things that Alex thinks won’t get him landed in prison.
And Alex is 40, well actually 41 turning 42 in March, and Alex cannot think of anything worse than having a social media presence.
Let him live ! Let him have his time away from writing and touring and writing and touring just to cook and lie in bed and watch the housewives of orange county, or the kardashians, or- he’s recently discovered YouTube- commentary videos on how the world is about to end because of how much we’ve destroyed it, or how to bleach your hair without it all falling out, or- he desperately despises this one- how to knit.
Because now he sits in bed, losing patience, as he knits things that he will never use.
Or Alex is a 41 year old comedian who realises he has been in love with Henry since they were kids.

Summary
It’s been a little over three weeks since he dumped Evan, and in hindsight Tommy could’ve handled the whole situation so much better. They never talked about their long term plans, goals and wishes, or set any specific ground rules for their relationship, but Tommy always assumed they were on the same page.
They were enjoying their time together, for however long it was going to last. Six weeks, six months, a year. But at some point Evan was going to get bored of him, or he’d outgrow Tommy and start looking for somebody else. Somebody with the qualities Evan wanted in a long term partner.
OR: Tommy is a trainwreck. He still gets his man back. (Eventually.)

Summary
Smell is an interesting thing, as far as senses go. He learned in undergrad anatomy that it’s actually responsible in part for encoding memory, and it’s a powerful trigger for it. Alex has experienced this plenty of times; his mother’s perfume reminding him of their years in Texas, his father’s cigars. This time, with the smell of this room, Alex is hit square in the chest with the memory of short blonde strands of hair sliding between his fingers, a perfect mouth opening against his own, a smooth accent curving a dulcet voice that whispers into his ear. Alex is spinning suddenly, as though he’s in midair and falling, and the nostalgic feeling in his chest is replaced with something far more intense and less pleasant. Alex steps backwards suddenly out of the room and slams the door shut, his breath shuddering and fast, and he rakes his hands through his dark curls as he storms off down the hallway.
Alexander Claremont-Diaz returns to the White House the first day of his presidency, intent on carving a new future for America and laying the ghosts of the previous administration to rest. He stumbles on a ghost of his own, one that's never quite stopped haunting him since the summer of his mother's second campaign.

Tommy's nails dug into Buck’s waist, the momentum of yanking Buck back driving his cock deeper up into him. A strangled sound burst out of Buck’s throat. He grabbed the side of the cabinet, mouth falling open.
“Quiet,” Tommy gritted into his ear.

or, what if in an alternate universe babyslut Buck joined the 118 when Tommy was still in his closeted asshole era and they had a torrid affair??

“I'm getting married,” he mumbled to himself, trying to make the words fit in his mouth without tasting like ash.
“I'm sorry, sugar. You are.”
Alex turned and nodded to his mother.
“When?” he asked, and she winced.
“Tomorrow.”
He nodded one more time.
“I’m going to be sick.”
