Summary
Mickey Milkovich, 26, is a tough, closeted ex-con and reluctant dance dad doing his best to raise his seven-year-old son, Yev.
Life’s been a grind—he’s broke, burned out, and recently booted from a snooty dance studio after clashing with the elite moms.
Enter Fallen Angel Ballet, a new studio run by Ian Gallagher, a former world-renowned ballerina whose career was tragically cut short by a hate crime.
Mickey doesn’t give a crap about Ian’s past—he just wants a scholarship for Yev. But when the gruff road crew worker and the disciplined dancer collide, sparks fly. Beneath their hardened exteriors, they discover pieces of themselves they thought were long gone.Bookmarked by blomstrete

Summary
“Are you actually suggesting what I think you’re suggesting? You think Lord Gallagher would take in two dirty teenage runaway Milkoviches out of the goodness of his heart?”
“No.” Ian says slowly. “No, I don’t think that at all.”
“So what then?”
He takes another breath. He can already feel the hostility, but he might as well finish getting it out. “You could… You and Mandy could… work for us.”
The suggestion is met with a profound silence.
------------------
Ian is the second son of Lord Francis Gallagher. Mickey is a local grubby petty criminal that steals fruit from the Gallagher’s orchard. When they meet, Ian knows he will do anything to make sure Mickey stays in his life, and he suspects Mickey feels the same. But trying to carry on a secret homosexual affair with a grumpy, emotionally immature man of significantly lower status than you is hard enough in the 1910s without abusive fathers, arranged marriages, and world wars getting in the way.
Or the Shameless / Downton Abbey crossover no one asked for.

Mickey Milkovich returns as foreman of Wallace Ranch after serving two years in prison to find the place falling apart. His brothers have made a mess of their cowboy duties, they're facing financial ruin, and there's a shady developer with his eyes set on the Gallagher's land.
Mickey has to go back to fix things.
But he's not going back for Ian. That part of his life is over and he won't be drawn back in again. Nope. No way.
(Or Mickey as a cowboy!)
