In 1974, Gerry Faun gets the break of his life -- an opportunity to meet gorgeous, openly bisexual, glam-rock idol Mark Devon. Mark's world is new, exciting, and Gerry finally gets to explore the side of his sexuality he's kept hidden. But the press is everywhere, and when Gerry's father gets wind of what's going on behind his back, Gerry ends up on the street. Mark offers to let Gerry come along with the tour and Gerry jumps at the chance. The tour is a never-ending party -- and the start of what seems to be a perfect relationship for him and Mark. Until Mark's manager decides Gerry isn't worth the trouble he's stirring up. In 1994, Gerry is finally coming out of some tough times -- he has a job that pays the bills, a car that hasn't quite broken down, and a small rental in Jersey City. After a decade of barely getting by, if life was as good as it was going to get, Gerry figures he'll manage just fine. It would be easier if he wasn't still haunted by the man the media won't let him forget, the man who stole his heart and then broke it ... the man who’s shown up pleading for a second chance.

Fawn on the Moon

In an instant, the argument was no longer Bella and the girl’s. It was his. Gerry narrowed his eyes and focused on Bella. Then he threw her words right back at her. “You’re just jealous.”


“Jealous?” Bella laughed and shook chunks of ice out of her shirt. “Of a tart like you? Hardly.”


Gerry shrugged. “It’s all right, Bella. I understand. I’d get cranky if Mark wasn’t paying attention to me, too.”


Still seated on the floor between the two seats, still doing her best to pick stray bits of ice off of her skin, Bella looked up and smiled coldly. “Not paying attention to me? Come on now, Fawn. Who do you think was sucking his dick for him while you slept the sleep of an angel last night?” She rose to her knees and patted the bench beside Mark. “Surely you don’t think he saves it all for you?”
