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
Connor reached out, praying his palms weren't sweating. "It's, uh, it's really nice to finally meet you, Mr. Arnaud. Thank you so much for having me. I know I'm sort of crashing the family vacation."
"Nonsense," François said softly as their hands met.
Connor looked at François’ face, tracing the lines around his eyes, the slight crinkle at the corner of his mouth. He found himself utterly hypnotized by the sheer, imposing presence of the man. Without realizing it, he let his hand linger, his fingers curving just slightly against the back of François' hand, holding the handshake for a second, maybe two, longer than socially necessary.
If François noticed it, he didn't pull away. Instead, his smile deepened, a subtle shift in the corners of his mouth. "And please, it’s François. 'Mr. Arnaud’ is my father. You are family here, Connor. Anyone who looks after my terrors so well is always welcome."
__________________________Connor shouldn't want him.
François shouldn't touch him.That doesn't stop either of them.
