Blurb:
Sometimes curves in the road take you right where you
belong.
Luther Almond’s life working the Bakken oil field is
perfect—short-lived jobs, temporary housing, and easy hookups. That’s one
reason he won’t move home when he inherits the lake house. When Erik Heat bends
over to fix Luther’s pipes, his tattoos hint he might be up for more than working
on the drain. The last thing Luther expects is to want more from this guy than
one night.
Every time they’re together, Luther is more grounded and
Erik more confident. When the lake house demands attention, Luther asks for
Erik’s help. There he imagines a more permanent life, one where he stops
running. But he wants Erik by his side. Can he find the courage—and the
words—to ask?

Excerpt:
Erik had the quintessential plumber’s crack, but holy… it
was not at all repulsive. And on his left ass cheek was a tattoo. From where
Luther sat, it looked like an elaborate arrow, or at least the tip of an arrow
pointing toward his ass. The rest disappeared under his clothes. Luther assumed
it wrapped around his side, and he wondered what sort of fletching was at the
other end. Did it end right above his cock, obscured by a dark thatch of pubic
hair, or nestle in his V, just skirting his hipbone?
Luther stood up, grabbed a can of pop from the fridge, and
stepped closer to study the tattoo. He spied a dark smudge right above the
beautiful arrow tip and barely kept
himself from bursting into laughter when he realized what it said.
Insert here was
inked in faded letters, nothing at all like the professional thin lines of the
quality arrow. This looked like the shit tattoos his high school friends gave
themselves with a sewing needle and India ink before they were old enough to
get a professional one. Or a prison tattoo.
Yet it was like an invitation just waiting to be noticed.
“Is that true?” Luther asked.
“Is what true?” Erik’s voice was muffled.
“‘Insert here.’”
Erik immediately sat back and tugged both his underwear and
his jeans up to cover his left hip as he cursed under his breath. “Shit. Stupid
tool belt.” He flushed bright red and then muttered words that were hard to
understand, but Luther thought he made out undershirt
and aerator. Erik scrambled to toss
his tools in his bucket, taking no time to organize them in the same way they’d
been when he’d arrived, and he tripped over an area rug as he bolted toward the
door.
“Hey! Stop,” Luther said. “Just—stop!”
Erik did, but he faced the door, refusing to turn around.
“I’m gay, so you’re safe here, if that’s what that tattoo’s
truly about.”
Erik turned his head slightly, only enough that Luther could
see his dark eyelashes as he blinked in double time.
“It’s not an easy place to be out. I know. But then… why
have that tattooed on your ass?”
“Long story,” Erik said.
“You were going out to your truck to get more tools?” Luther
offered, to help the guy save face.
“No.” He hiked his pants up and tightened his tool belt a
notch or two. “I’m gonna keep working.”
“All right.” Luther sat down on his couch again, tugging his
iPad back into his lap and pretending to no longer care about those smudged
words that obviously meant a hell of a lot to Erik. At least keeping them
hidden did.
