description: It took losing nearly everything to discover what they cant live without. A few excruciating minutes pinned under a burning beam cost Ryan Ward his job as a firefighter the easy camaraderie of his coworkers his current girlfriend and damn near cost him his left leg. Giving up though wasnt an option. He fought and won the battle back to health over a painful year. Now choosing a new profession going back to school and renting a room from the college groundskeeper should be simple. Until he realizes hes falling in love with his housemate and things take a turn for the complicated. John Barrett knows about loss. After moving twice to stay in touch with his kids he could only watch as his ex-wife whisked them away to California. Offering Ryan a room seems better than rattling around his empty house alone. But as casual friendship moves to something more and emotions heat up the big old house feels like tight quarters. Its nothing they can't learn to navigate until life adds in unhappy teen kids difficult family members and mysterious deaths on campus. Rebuilding will be far from easy even for two guys willing to open their minds and hearts. (This is a rerelease of the 2012 Samhain novel with only minor editing.)
