This was an excellent beginning to a longer story, though the ending is satisfying in its own right. The story is told first person entirely from the POV of Thomas Elkin, a 44 year old successful architect. He meets an old high school friend of his son, Ryan, a few days before the young man, Cooper, begins an internship with his architectural firm. Thomas immediately chooses Cooper to work on his team. 
 Soon thereafter Thomas discovers that Cooper sees the architectural world in exactly the same way he does. They have chemistry, and though the age difference bothers Thomas, it bothers Cooper not at all. They begin a tryst during Cooper's internship which could potentially get Cooper blacklisted and Thomas fired (though in all likelihood it would only be a slap on the wrist for him). But the big question remains: What will happen when Cooper's internship is over? If he stays, they can't see each other any longer because of company policy, and if he goes, it could irreparably harm Cooper's budding career. 
 Thomas and Cooper are as different as they are the same. The generation gap provides some good humor between them, as well as some strife. Cooper is very straightforward and says what he wants in no uncertain terms. I look forward to reading more about these two. The side characters of Ryan, Jennifer (Thomas's secretary), and Lionel (Thomas's doorman) also play well in their supporting roles. 
 This story was a nice start, but I think the series overall has more potential than just this one story. I look forward to seeing where their relationship goes.
