An epic motion picture! A gay Napoleonic War love story! Ballrooms and battles at sea! Romantic happy endings on the silver screen! And a film that’ll change everything for its stars ... Jason Mirelli can’t play adrenaline-fueled action heroes forever. He’s getting older, plus the action star parts have grown a little thinner since he came out as bisexual. This role could finally let him be seen as a serious dramatic actor, and he needs it to go well -- for his career, and because he’s fallen in love with the story and the chance to tell it. The first problem? He’ll be playing a ship’s captain ... and he hasn’t exactly mentioned his fear of water. The second problem? His co-star: award-winning, overly talkative, annoyingly adorable -- and openly gay – box office idol Colby Kent. Colby’s always loved the novel this film’s based on, and he leapt at the chance to adapt it, now that he has the money and reputation to make it happen. But scars and secrets from his past make filming a love story difficult ... until Jason takes his hand and wakes up all his buried desires. Jason could be everything Colby’s ever wanted: generous and kind, a fantastic partner on set, not to mention those heroic muscles. But Colby just can’t take that chance ... or can he? As their characters fall in love and fight a war, Colby and Jason find themselves falling, too ... and facing the return of their own past demons. But together they just might win ... and write their own love story.

Jillian’s voice suggested in the background that not only were they now filming, but perhaps a few moments prior had been captured too. Jason’s present-day brain listened. The rest of him tipped his head to rest against Will’s, thumb idly rubbing over that much-adored shoulder as Will slept. A luscious genius viscount. In his arms. In love with him. How’d that happened?


Colby yawned. Stirred. Opened eyes. Did the line: waking up, that sleepy teasing good morning even though it was decidedly not morning, the day a shimmering silvery hidden-away interlude. Inquiring about Stephen staying awake to watch him sleep.


Stephen liked that. Jason liked that. Jason wanted that more.


He said the lines. Teased Will right back, about being beautiful and also needing someone to haul him off to the library for a thorough buggering, using that pretty arse exactly the way it liked to be used. Several people muffled laughter and also impressed noises, off camera.
