Please Use the Door — K.C. Kendricks

Tanner Reddick learned the hard way a man needs his own place to call home â€" one that is legally his. The last guy set his belongings on the curb and Tanner vows it will never happen again. It's time for him to be in charge. Embarking on the next phase of his life, Tanner buys a fixer-upper bungalow and gets to work. He's looking forward to living on his own for a while. His interest in his boss, Alex Crewes, could change that.

It's moving day and Tanner notices a few things about the house, things his friends disavow knowledge of. The porch is swept and the breakers on. Then Tanner smells a hint of Bay Rum cologne, which no one he knows uses. When unseen hands paint a few rooms in the house, he has to face the facts - he's not really alone.

Bodhi introduces himself and welcomes the newest resident in the house he built a century ago. This one Bodhi likes, and he's determined he and Tanner will coexist in harmony. Maybe they can even be friends. And if he's lucky, maybe a little more â€" unless Tanner's deepening relationship with Alex throws a wrench into his plans.
