No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
All he ever wanted was to be a normal guyโฆ.
ย
Phil Brask spends his days in the basement of his mentor's Victorian home, converting legal documents into electronic format. When the pipe feeding the water heater bursts, Lee Redding arrives in the plumberโs truck and draws Phil away from the narrow focus of his computer and camera lens. Lee gives Phil hope for a life beyond the walls heโs constructed using the nesting habits of migratory birds and dense legal files, a guided tour through a world filled with romance and musicโฆmaybe even family. But thereโs a reason Phil retreated behind those walls, why he panics at a simple touch.
ย
Lee has a good lifeโworking with his uncle and on his motherโs farm, playing bass in a horrible metal band, and hooking up when he pleasesโbut heโs always suspected something was missing. When he meets the hot photographer with the icy-blue eyes, he knows exactly what that something is. Phil isnโt like other guys, but neither is Lee beneath his carefree exterior. Maybe Lee's the perfect guy to show Phil that everything doesnโt have to be done the hard way and "home" isn't a four-letter word.
