Some choices test you. Some choices define you.

Rick Rickman has reconciled with his father and finally accepted the truth of his own heart. He loves Dave Johnson — now he just has to say it.

Dave is still sorting through grief, guilt, and the growing pull he feels toward Rick when an unexpected email threatens to upend everything: a rival company wants to hire him as Executive Vice President with a twenty‑million‑dollar salary. Dave asks for time to think… but forgets to close his email. And Rick sees it.

In Romania, jealousy and fear finally force the conversation they’ve both avoided. Dave tells Rick he’s already made his choice — he wants to stay. He wants them. And for the first time, he says the words out loud: I love you too.

Rick had planned something grander, but the moment is right. He drops to one knee and asks Dave to marry him. Dave says yes.

A wedding follows. A son is born. And a year later, another child is on the way.

His Man Thursday is the seventh and final novella in the His Man Series, bringing Dave and Rick to the future they fought for — and chose — together.
