Unpacked: New City. Same Chaos. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798291820704)

A house full of secrets.
A porch full of judgment.
And a love story held together by grout, ghosts, and one very unexpected ceiling hook.

When Zach Quinn inherits a 7,000-square-foot historic estate in Ridgewood, Ohio, he thinks he's getting floorplans and family drama. What he doesn't expect is a secret room, a stack of unsent letters, and a legacy built by a closeted uncle who left more than just crown molding behind.

Moving in with his partner Matthew-who owns more designer throw pillows than most stores-Zach tries to make sense of the past while building a future that feels honest. But with every renovation comes another revelation: about Louis, about love, and about what it really means to stay.

There's tension. There's wallpaper. There are heated arguments about faucet finishes. And beneath it all, two men learning that "home" isn't just where you live-it's the story you choose to keep telling.

Unpacked - New City. Same Chaos. is a novel about queer joy, chosen family, Midwestern ghosts, and the holy art of taking up space.
Also, there are dogs in matching outfits. Obviously.

Sometimes, the life you're building starts with what others left behind.
