Gabe Mason put his life on hold when he became a teen father after trying to deny he was gay, and now that his daughter, Ellie, is close to graduating from high school, he won’t do anything to endanger his custody arrangement with his ex-wife. While working at the local home improvement store, Gabe meets Jerry, a tall, awkward young man who hides behind sunglasses and a beanie. Gabe quickly realizes Jerry doesn’t have a clue how to restore the house he bought, and after Gabe tries to steer him in the right direction for expert help, Jerry hires Gabe to handle the renovations. Gabe believes Jerry is in over his head and is concerned about his finances, while Jerry worries he’s attracted to a married man. When their secrets are revealed, some are easier to handle than others, and Jerry’s could destroy Gabe’s family.
VERDICT Lain (“Love in Laguna” series) writes a tender hidden-identity romance with appeal for fans of Heidi Cullinan, Alexis Hall, or Annabeth Albert. Recommended for all libraries.
