My days were a whirlwind of legal battles. My nights? Let's just say they involved a different kind of exertion, thanks to the undeniably attractive maintenance man, Alex. We had a a no-strings fling fueled by laughter, late-night pizza, shared novels, and heated chess matches. Except, apparently, my system was flawed. Because while Alex saw casual, I saw forever. One slip up was all it took for the whole case to unravel and now I was back-tracking fast. But maybe all Alex needed was a shove in the right direction? Battles in court, I could do; for matters of the heart, the jury was still out. How the Other Half lives is a short, romantic instalove story featuring an opposites attract romance between lawyer Vance and handyman Alex. With a few meddling family members and friends along the way.
