Together

Trevor Hayes is drowning in grief and home repairs he can't handle alone when Alec Rowan walks onto his porch with cold eyes and capable hands. Alec doesn't do emotional connections; he fixes houses, collects payment, and leaves. But Trevor's soft heart and persistent presence begin to crack Alec's carefully constructed armor. As summer turns to fall and repairs turn to renovations, they build something neither expected: a partnership that feels like coming home.
Trevor learns that his clumsiness doesn't make him inadequate, that asking for help is an act of courage, and that loving a man doesn't make him less worthy of the life his grandmother wanted for him. Alec learns that his mother's dream, for him to do something that makes him happy, is possible, that photography can be more than a hobby, and that opening his heart won't destroy him. Together with Sarah, who pushes them toward honesty with humor and unwavering loyalty, they create a found family in Mary's house, filling rooms with laughter, Friday night dinners, and the quiet intimacy of two people who choose each other every day.
When they marry in March and begin the adoption process for baby Sofia, they face a final test: proving to a skeptical world that two men can provide the love and stability a child deserves. If home is built through presence and care, can they convince others that their love is enough? Together: The Life We Built is RT Dixon's moving exploration of contemporary LGBTQ+ romance and found family. If you love stories about grief and healing, small-town life, and the transformative power of authentic love, then you'll be captivated by Dixon's emotionally rich narrative.
