    About this ebook

    Making movies for Weslington Productions as a grip keeps Alex Lee busy these days. Although he lives in West Hollywood he’s seen a lot of the globe, traveling for the company. This summer he’s heading home to Pittsburgh to help make the thriller River Death.

    As expected, it’s comforting to be home again. Alex gets to visit his sister and do some sibling catch-up. Plus he’s able to visit their younger brother’s grave. But it’s awkward for Alex when he sees his beefy, sexy, alluring high school crush again, Squire Land, a crush that still burns strong.

    Alex learns Squire is a professional trainer and owns a gym called Fitland. Unfortunately, Squire -- the popular kid, the jock, the guy who was out of his league -- ignored Alex in high school, and probably will do the same today. So there’s no reason why Alex should make any advancements, embarrassing himself.

    As moviemaking keeps Alex busy, he doesn’t have much time to do anything else. Until his sister tells him Squire Land wants to speak with him. And Alex wonders why.
