Nothing is more important than family. Someday I'll have my own, if I can ever find the right guy. For now, I'm concentrating on my career and a promotion. That is, until my company hires a hot-shot with the right credentials to snag the position. I should resent him, but Tadhg Byrne is talented. And gorgeous. And though my ASL is pitiful, it means I'm the most "qualified" colleague to partner with him. Or so my boss says. So I guess I'm about to do myself out of a job. After a nasty breakup with my manipulative ex, I returned home to Seattle to lick my wounds. I'm done with relationships. From now on I'm focusing on my career. There are just a few issues with that. *It's not that easy for a deaf man to succeed in a hearing world, even with the right degree and experience. *Quinn MacDougall-my good-natured coworker. He's incredibly talented, driven, and distractingly handsome. *Quinn's hearing, which is the biggest problem of all. How can someone who isn't deaf ever truly understand and accept me?
