Together

The life we built

About

Trevor Hayes is drowning in grief and struggling to care for the house his grandmother left behind. Every broken board and unfinished repair reminds him of everything he’s lost and everything he doesn’t know how to fix.

Then Alec Rowan walks onto his porch with cold eyes, capable hands, and no interest in getting personally involved.

Alec fixes houses, collects his payment, and leaves. That’s how he likes it. But Trevor’s soft heart, clumsy ways, and stubborn kindness begin breaking through walls Alec has spent years building around himself.

As repairs become renovations, the two men slowly create something neither expected. Trevor begins to understand that asking for help doesn’t make him weak. Alec starts to believe happiness might still be possible. With their loyal friend Sarah pushing them toward honesty, Mary’s old house begins filling with laughter, shared meals, and people who genuinely care about one another.

But fixing a house is easier than trusting someone with your heart. If Trevor and Alec want a life together, they’ll have to face their grief, their fears, and a world that may not accept the future they want.

Together: The Life We Built is an emotional LGBTQ+ romance about grief, healing, friendship, and two men learning how to build a life neither of them believed they could have.
