Walker There are several principles of landscaping, but my favorite has always been simplicity. I’m a go with the flow and keep it simple kind of guy. Always have been. Always will be. It’s how I do my job and how I live my life. Of course, as luck would have it, it only takes one job and one indescribably hot stranger to change everything for me. Because one thing Dutton Collins is not . . . simple. Dutton I should have sold the house. I shouldn’t be here in the middle of nowhere Kansas. My grandmother didn’t care for me when she was alive, something she made sure I knew. So now I’m struggling to understand why she’d leave me her home and all her possessions when she died. I miss the city and was heading back home, ready to give up, when Walker Murphy barreled into my life and complicated the hell out of it. How am I supposed to leave this all behind when he’s showed me the beauty in the simple life?

Archie My favorite principle in landscaping and in life is balance. In any situation, that’s my goal—to find that perfect balance. And I’m good at it too. That is until I met Cane. Now, nothing makes sense, and everything is off balance. I’m not sure what to make of this and how to make it work. I’ve never felt like this before, and I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. All I know is I want to find a way. Cane I knew I wasn’t happy before I met Archie. But after? It became pretty apparent I wasn’t. Blatantly so. How am I supposed to go back now? Especially since he showed back up in my life at just the wrong time—or right, depending on how you look at it. I don’t even know if I can convince him to forgive me. And I don’t know what I want. All I know is I’ve never felt more secure in who I am than when I’m around him.
