Foundations

di Matt Zachary (Autore)

Porterlance Books, 2024

In the sprawling heart of New York City, two lives on distinctly different paths collide in a way neither expects. Ethan Travers, a reserved 35-year-old graduate student, has spent his life adhering to expectations. After walking away from a lucrative but unfulfilling career in finance, he's returned to school in search of purpose, haunted by the shadow of his father's disappointment. Ethan thrives on structure and order, his walls carefully constructed to keep the chaos of emotion at bay. Logan Bennett, a 24-year-old Australian undergrad brimming with energy and charm, is Ethan's opposite in every way. With his untamed laughter, unpredictable spirit, and a passion for life that Ethan can't quite understand, Logan has come to New York searching for something more—though he's not entirely sure what that is. When the two are assigned to work together on an urban planning project, their differences clash immediately. Logan's carefree approach grates against Ethan's meticulous need for control, and their personalities seem destined to repel one another. But as late-night study sessions give way to deeper conversations, a tentative friendship begins to form, one built on mutual respect and an unspoken understanding of each other's struggles. Beneath the surface, however, something more is brewing. For Ethan, Logan represents a challenge to everything he thought he knew about himself—a chance to step outside the confines of his carefully ordered life. For Logan, Ethan is a grounding force, someone who sees past his bravado to the vulnerability he hides from the world. But neither man is prepared for the intensity of the connection that builds between them, nor the feelings that threaten to upend the delicate balance of their partnership. As their project nears completion, the unspoken tension between them reaches a breaking point, forcing Ethan to confront the fear and doubt that have held him back for so long. In a quiet mountain town far from the chaos of the city, Ethan takes the leap he's been avoiding, and their lives are changed forever with a single kiss. Back in New York, they face the challenges of navigating a relationship while balancing the pressures of school and their individual insecurities. Foundations is a tender and heartfelt exploration of love, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to let someone in. With richly drawn characters, emotionally charged moments, and a slow-burning romance that culminates in a transformative connection, this is the first installment in a trilogy that will leave readers eagerly anticipating what comes next.
