Summary
Gale Dekarios does not come to Greyvale Manor looking for ghosts. He comes to outrun one. Recently widowed after his wife, Mystra, died in a devastating fire, he buries himself in science to explain grief, memory, and everything the mind refuses to release. When the mysterious owner of Greyvale invites him to investigate claims of paranormal activity, Gale accepts, hoping to rebuild his career and escape the shadow that still follows him.
He is not the only one summoned. Other researchers, sceptics, and professionals arrive, each carrying secrets and fears of their own. Among them is Sameera, a reluctant medium who has spent her life seeing what others refuse to face. From the moment she enters, she knows what the others do not.
Greyvale is not simply haunted. It is aware. It listens. It remembers.
Inside a house haunted not only by death but by everything the living bring with them, each of them must confront something far more terrifying than spirits:
The parts of themselves the manor refuses to let them escape.

Summary
“C'mere," Buck says, sitting up to scoot closer to Eddie.
"What are you doing?” Eddie asks, and Buck sighs.
"You can just kiss me, get a taste of the lip balm, and tell me what flavour you think it is.”
Eddie can’t believe his ears.
"That is such a stupid way to win a bet, Buck."
“Oh so you concede?"
Eddie rolls his eyes, shaking his head before planting both hands on the sides of Buck's face and hauling him in to press their lips together.
OR
Buck and Eddie make a bet on whether or not Eddie can guess all of Buck's lip balm flavours, and in order for Eddie to get a taste, they have to kiss.

Summary
When Eddie moves to Los Angeles, it’s for three reasons: to be closer to the ocean (and further from his parents), because he’s gotten a divorce and full custody of his son, and because he’s come out. LA feels like the perfect place for him and Christopher to start over—and that’s exactly what they do.
Or
Probie Eddie meets his Captain’s son, Buck who’s a teacher at his son’s school and the story goes from there.

Summary
“Are you homophobic?”
“What?”
“Will you be my boyfriend?”
“Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.
“Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.
