Man of Affairs

When coming out means staying in.

Blood is the currency between the rich and the damned. A name means nothing if youre born on the wrong side of Belmont Road.

Three hundred and fifty years separate Nudges from the past, but the church still rules the rich and the damned—same pulpit, same pews, same judgement from either side of the aisle. You arent anyone if you arent welcome there.

For Matt Urbank, the judgment is the disappointment on his fathers face when his twin, Ethan, gets into trouble.

For Kit Felton, the judgment is the exile his aunt endures for living with her partner.

When Matt finds Kit hiding in the bathroom at school, the pair form an unspoken bond of friendship that deepens into something more. They are the safe each crave, and give the word home meaning.

As the pair make plans for their future, Ethan does something unforgivable; it almost rips them apart.

If you planted the seed, you must tend the crop, and Matt is left responsible—again—for Ethans mistakes.

Cela Bailey, is a shrewd negotiator, and between the three of them, they come up with a strategy to make them happy. What happens behind the barn doors, stays behind the barn doors.
