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

“I’m not angry,” he mumbled to himself.


A woman waiting at the bottom of the stairs shrank closer to a potted plant, staring at Gerry with both wide-eyed tension and fascination. He smiled, and continued speaking as if she was the one he’d started the conversation with. “Annoyed, yes. Irritated, sure. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Tell me you wouldn’t be.”


“Is there something I can assist you with, sir?”


Where the tall, dark, well-dressed man had come from, Gerry had no idea. He startled, turned, and narrowed his eyes. “Are you an assassin? Because if so, then and only then, might you be able to help me.”
