After trading the barracks for a fixer-upper rental, navy SEAL Zaki Nelson wants peace, not a roommate especially not Pino, who sees things about Zaki he most wants to hide. Pino flirting puts virgin Zaki on edge. And the questions Pino arrival would spark from Zaki teammates about his own sexuality? Nope. Not going there. But Zaki can't refuse. Pino Aldo knows there won't be a warm welcome in his new home. What can he say? He's an acquired taste. But he needs this chance to get his life together. Also, teasing the uptight SEAL will be hella fun. Still, Pino has to tread carefully, he's had his fill of tourists in the past, and he can't risk his heart on another, not even one as hot as built and adorable as Zaki. Living with Pino crumbles Zaki restraint and fuels his curiosity. He discovers how well they fit together in bed, in the shower, in the hallway. He needs Pino more than he could have imagined, yet he doesn't know how to be the man Pino deserves.
