    Summary

    Ed is a handyman, living in a small-ish town and living the day to day of handymanning – drain clogs, lock changes, paint touch-ups, the uzhe. He’s self-employed and only takes jobs from clients recommending him on, which keeps him in control of his schedule. He is an artist, but keeps the art within the confines of his own home (or a special something for Mama Teach from time to time). There’s a routine to his life that goes generally undisturbed.

    Stede is new to town and becomes something of an enigma to Ed. He catches Ed’s eye on an unsuspecting walkabout the neighborhood with his pup, and suddenly Ed finds himself in the pull that is Stede Bonnet, Homeowner Extraordinaire (emphasis on the extra). When Stede finds himself in need of a capable handyman, it's Ed's number he calls. Stede, however, has secrets of his own--which Ed uncovers job-by-job.

    Don’t worry, Ed is totally normal about this guy.

    Summary

    “Where you putting yours?” Ed’s eyes are roaming over Stede as if he’s trying to guess where he might want his tattoo.

    Stede rolls up the billowy sleeve of his shirt to show off his right forearm. Oddly, Ed stares for a moment before nodding. “I want it to be where I can see it all the time. A reminder.”

    Ed nods again. “I get that. That’s what mine is for too. My dad just died….”

    “Mine, too,” Stede replies, sitting up eagerly. “I’m sorry for your loss,” he rushes to add since most people are sad about this sort of thing.

    “Nah, my dad was a dick,” Ed says. “Sorry for your loss, though.”

    “Um, my dad was a dick, too, actually,” Stede tells him, stifling a giggle. “I want some flowers. He always hated that I loved flowers, thought I was too ‘soft.’ But I’m taking his money and opening a florist stop, so I get the last laugh.”

    To Stede’s surprise, Ed looks excited. “A florist shop! Sounds amazing, mate! Good for you.”

     

    ~~~~~

    Stede Bonnet's life changes the moment Ed Teach walks into the tattoo shop he's sitting in. They bond over their terrible dead fathers, become friends, get tattoos, go to the Ren Faire, and fall in love along the way.

    Summary

    When Stede Bonnet acquired a lighthouse commission to escape the suffocating walls of his home and marital bed, he resigned himself to a lifetime of emptiness of a different, yet equally crushing, sort, losing himself in work and indulging in his silly daydreams of adventures on the high seas in isolation. Until the arrival of his new—and singularly odd—wickie disrupts his dreary existence and awakens him to the opportunity for friendship and perhaps more. Yet Stede is plagued by fearful dreams of the ocean depths, and Ed may not be the only one harboring secrets.
