The house isn't the only thing that needs to be torn down to the studs.

MASON

I have one rule: always have an exit strategy. I'm a contractor. I show up, do the work, and walk away clean. By this point I'm practically an expert in walking away.

Then my brother sends me to pitch a job at an old house on the shores of Lake Washington, and I walk straight into Jackson Cullen. Yep, that Jackson Cullen, the British movie star at the top of my hall pass list. Ten minutes later I'm pulling him out of a rotten boat dock with my hands in places I've only dreamed about.

He's going to be in that house for six months while we rebuild it. I'm going to be in it with him.

My exit-strategy is starting to look like a fairy tale.

JACKSON

I came to Seattle to disappear.

LA broke something in me that I can't name, and a 1970s lake house with a peeling roof and a view of the water is the closest I've come to peace in years. I want quiet. I want a home. I want to figure out who I am when the cameras aren't watching.

What I did not plan for was the six-foot-five contractor who keeps catching me staring at his...tattoos. Since my wife passed away, I've let the world believe I'm a straight widower with an empty social calendar. It's not a total lie.

If we're going to do this, we have to do it in the dark.

From the Ground Up is the first book in the Hot Dam Homes series — a forced-proximity, closeted-celebrity, opposites-attract MM romance with blue-collar swoon, a rotten boat dock, and a happy ending earned the hard way.
