   Summary

   After twenty years together—ten of them married—Mike Wheeler’s greatest secret was finally on paper.
   When Will stumbles upon the hidden manuscript for The Theory of Devotion, he finds more than just a plot—he finds a detailed map of Mike’s deepest desires. With a weekend of silence ahead of them, Will decides to give the author exactly what he wants: a live reenactment of every smutty, worshipful chapter Mike was too shy to show him.

   Or: the one where Will finds Mike’s secret manuscript and decides it’s time to reenact the chapters.
