A third generation building contractor, he agrees to fix the roof, plus add a room, all according to an agreed upon schedule.

Sam, the Man
When Greg Jackson’s wife passes away after a prolonged illness, can the care giving, flamboyantly gay, Sam Nicholson, convince him that being a bad boy is a good thing?

Sparks fly between the two men as the very masculine Greg discovers the comfort of becoming a sexual submissive. But love, which Greg had vowed eternally to his wife, is another thing altogether-and something Sammy wants badly from him.
