About this ebook
Scotty Reedville has had his office job for two years, long enough to fall for Ryker Callen, head of the landscaping crews. It’s ridiculous, really. How could he fall for someone so completely his opposite in every way? Answer: he couldn’t help it. Still, Scotty would never make a move because he doesn’t think Ryker would go out with a guy who wears braces and snaps at everyone.
However, when Ryker is injured in a softball game one weekend and needs a place to live temporarily that doesn’t have steps, Scotty’s boss Gavin suggests he stay with Scotty. The time they spend together is both the best and worst thing that has ever happened to Scotty, and he doesn’t want it to end. But it must.
Thankfully, Ryker has other plans. Can the two men stumble their way to love?

The Things We Do
By J.D. Walker
Scotty Reedville, if you stare any harder at that man, there’ll be holes in his pants,
my boss Gavin Chang said, shaking his well-coifed graying head and sighing at my obsessive behavior.
I don’t know what you’re talking about,
I replied, snarky as ever. Still, I kept my eye on the tight-looking rear end of my unwanted crush through the glass window at the front of the office as he jogged toward a group of men standing by one of the company trucks.
The snug, dusty blue jeans that emphasized toned legs and the long-sleeved black T-shirt that hugged his upper body and arms to perfection made me drool. Unwillingly, of course, since I would never admit my attraction aloud to anyone, least of all him.
That man
was the head of all the landscaping crews, Ryker Callen—a very fit, no-spare-fat-anywhere, muscular hottie on whom I’d helplessly had my eyes since the time I began working at Innovative Landscaping two years ago. A hunk to outdo all others, making my love-withered heart beat again.
Naturally, the object of my, er, attention had never said much more to me than a friendly ‘sup, bro?
—which was how he greeted everyone—unless he needed something in particular, and why would he? I snapped and growled at everyone, though he never seemed fazed by it, and I was only marginally polite to the customers. Plus, he was likely straight as an arrow. Ryker was annoyingly endearing with his constant cheer.
I knew I had no chance in hell with this man, and was content enough for him to be my secret eye candy. I worshipped him from afar, or up close underneath my eyelashes whenever he stepped into the office to grab supplies, work briefly at his corner desk, or hand over a check from a client.
And why would I wish for anything else? A man like him probably had willing partners practically banging down his door. I simply couldn’t help myself, and while I’d had the occasional hookup over the years, after seeing Ryker for the first time, no one else would do. Which pissed me off and made me even more pissy in his presence. So, yes, I hadn’t had sex in a long,
