Everyone Knew About Asher's Crush... Except Asher Thought It Was a Secret
Asher Grayson's crush on Damian Rivera is impossible to hide. Every time the rugged construction foreman rolls up his sleeves, lifts heavy materials, or laughs with his crew, Asher's face gives him away. While Brielle, Diego, and Jordan never miss a chance to tease him, Damian seems to have noticed the younger photographer's obvious attraction long before Asher finds the courage to admit it.
