Architect Alec Trelawny has everything he ever dreamed of as founding partner in his own practice, living and working with best friend Carter Kier and their business partner and occasional lover Vanessa Bowyer. When nineteen year old Carter made a pass at fellow student Alec he was never more relieved to be rejected, but after years of friendship and partnership with both Alec and Vanessa, Carter finds Alec looking at him through different eyes. Alec's shifting desires will force all three to find a new balance and a new level of honesty if they are not to destroy the friendship that they all value, but they have the goodwill to try, and there's a lot of sexy, sudsy, food-smeared fun to be had along the way.
