Summary
After learning the truth about why he was born, Buck makes the most deliberate choice of his life: he applies to Asterbridge House, a private matchmaking service he’s been saving for since he was eighteen, because more than anything, he wants a spouse, children, and a home that lasts.
He does not expect to be matched with Tommy Kinard.
Tommy is older, steadier, richer, and far better at seeing through Buck than Buck is ready for. He listens carefully, kisses gently, and makes room for Buck exactly as he is, which would be easier to enjoy if Buck’s family didn’t think he was making a mistake. It would be easier still if Maddie wasn’t trying to fix his life for him, or if wanting something for himself didn’t feel so much like betraying everyone else’s expectations.
Somewhere between first dates, family betrayals, crossed lines, and one very bad fire, Buck has to figure out whether he can stop asking permission to want the life he actually wants — and whether Tommy might be a place to land.

Summary
Buck drops by Eddie's place to get the last of his stuff to put into storage and gets the news from Eddie that Chimney has thrown his hat into being captain for the 118 the same time as Eddie got confirmation that he's been accepted back into the 118 and can start right back up again.
"I figured this was too good to celebrate over beer so I opened the champagne that you left in the fridge."
Buck doesn't know why.
But that was the last straw for him.

Summary
What if Buck finally realized after the humiliating blowout, on how Eddie said what was wrong, how he made everything about himself and how Eddie called him exhausting throughout the years they were friends (yes, past tense) and abandoned his plans to sublet Eddie’s place. He still needed a place to live and managed to find a run-down place in North Hollywood that needed TLC.
This is a story where Buck builds back his life one step at a time and heals himself.

Summary
Shane Hollander does not leave outcomes to chance. When traditional dating fails to produce the stability he wants, he turns to a private matchmaker who promises something more deliberate: one match, one meeting, one decision.
Ilya Rozanov never planned to get married. But when his carefully controlled life starts to unravel, marriage becomes the simplest solution.
Neither of them is looking for love. What they agree to is a calculated partnership, built on alignment, not emotion.
It should be straightforward.
It is not.
