Blueprint

A decade ago, Julian Vance had a plan: architecture school, a high-powered firm, and a shared future with the love of his life, Liam Callahan. Then Liam disappeared, leaving behind only a cryptic note and the wreckage of Julian's carefully constructed world. Now a successful, rigid architect in Chicago, Julian lives a life defined by order and control. Liam, a restless travel photographer, thrives on chaos and has spent the last ten years running from commitment and the past he left behind. A sudden inheritance forces them back to the lakeside cabin that holds their history. A dilapidated fixer-upper becomes the unlikely neutral ground where the architect and the artist must finally confront the anger, the secrets, and the magnetic attraction that never truly faded. As they navigate the sale of the cabin—and the turbulent logistics of a second chance—Julian and Liam must decide if their new life can survive the distance, career conflicts, and the fundamental differences that tore them apart once before. Blueprint is a story of second chances, the inefficiency of living life alone, and the beautiful, messy compromises required to build a love that is finally designed to last.
