    Summary

    In a hilarious and intimate undercover op, Steve and Danny pose as a couple at a high-end wellness retreat to catch a con artist. Their mission, however, quickly turns into an emotional rollercoaster of passive-aggressive banter, therapeutic massages, and dramatic public fights. As their fake relationship blurs into reality, the two are forced to confront their genuine feelings for each other.

    Summary

    “You took his spot.”

    Hen's voice was gentle.

    Gentler than Buck thought he'd ever heard it.

    “Him and Sal were the team before you.”

    Buck frowned.

    “Sal?”

    The name sounded familiar.

    Then it clicked.

    His eyes darted toward the memorial wall visible from the loft.

    “The guy in the memorial?”

    ...

    The truck bombing happened preseason 1 with Tommy being the victim.

    Summary

    After learning the truth about why he was born, Buck makes the most deliberate choice of his life: he applies to Asterbridge House, a private matchmaking service he’s been saving for since he was eighteen, because more than anything, he wants a spouse, children, and a home that lasts.

    He does not expect to be matched with Tommy Kinard.

    Tommy is older, steadier, richer, and far better at seeing through Buck than Buck is ready for. He listens carefully, kisses gently, and makes room for Buck exactly as he is, which would be easier to enjoy if Buck’s family didn’t think he was making a mistake. It would be easier still if Maddie wasn’t trying to fix his life for him, or if wanting something for himself didn’t feel so much like betraying everyone else’s expectations.

    Somewhere between first dates, family betrayals, crossed lines, and one very bad fire, Buck has to figure out whether he can stop asking permission to want the life he actually wants — and whether Tommy might be a place to land.

    Summary

    Tommy is used to being the one who shows up when things go wrong. He’s less prepared for what happens when life forces him to stay.

    Six months is a long time to put everything on hold—long enough for old ghosts to resurface, for buried feelings to demand attention, and for someone he never quite moved on from to step back into his life.
