Forty-five-year-old English professor Nathan Qells is very good at making people feel important. What he€s not very good at is sticking around afterward. He€s a nice guy; he just doesn€t feel things the way other people do. So even after all the time he€s spent taking care of Michael, the kid across the hall, he doesn€t realize that Michael€s mob muscle uncle and guardian, Andreo Fiore, has slowly been falling in love with him. Dreo has bigger problems than getting Nate to see him as a potential partner. He€s raising his nephew, trying to leave his unsavory job, and starting his own business, a process made infinitely more difficult when a series of hits takes out some key underworld players. Still, Dreo is determined to build a life he can be proud of€•a life with Nate as a cornerstone. A life that is starting to look like exactly what Nate has been seeking. Unfortunately for Dreo€•and for Nate€•the last hits were just part of a major reorganization, and Dreo€s obvious love for Nate has made him a target too.
