Life, Some Assembly Required — Kaje Harper

Finding love in the ashes was easy. Building a life together? Don't make Fate laugh.

After spending the first part of his life chasing pretty girls, love has finally come to Ryan in the form of John, a tall, lanky, red-headed landscape architect with wide shoulders and a five-o'clock shadow. For the first time in his life, love feels easy. Hell, he even ran into a burning building for John and his son, and he'd do it again if he had to. But telling his father and brothers "I'm gay. I've met a man"? That's a bumpy ride he's not looking forward to. For John, loving Ryan is as natural as breathing. Now if only the rest of his life would fall into place. Dealing with his teen son is complicated enough, but with his ex-wife causing trouble and his daughter wanting to move in, John's house-and his relationship with Ryan-threaten to split at the seams. Would one month without a new surprise knocking him upside the heart be asking too much? If the sound of Fate's laughter is any indication, the answer must be yes...
