Five Men, One Roof — Rayner Thackery
Five men, one roof — and every one of them has already decided that you belong with them.
When your mom married the nephew of Gwain Thackery, you didn't just gain a stepfather — you gained four more men who decided, one by one, that you belonged with them. In a cramped suburban house with thin walls, nosy neighbours, and your mom always working the night shift, the second to the oldest, your stepfather, claims you with quiet authority, and his brothers want you just as badly. Five men. One roof. No way out.
But this is not a love story. This is about five grown men who have had nothing to hold onto in a long time — and not one of them intends to let you go. Your stepfather is not your blood and does not pretend otherwise, you are grown and nobody's property, and every one of them stops the moment you say so.
Welcome to the Thackery house. The walls are thin. The neighbours are nosy. And every one of them is waiting for his chance to keep you.
