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.

Seaworthy

“I think so?” Colby had started blushing. “I’m—it’s only that I—it’s being prepared!”


“Right,” Jason said. “I got it. It helps.” For at least two reasons, he thought; and some of those earlier thoughts spun back in like leather and lace. Obviously Colby felt better knowing in advance; that was understandable, and Jason himself should’ve thought of that before flipping him over into bedding. But then that second intimation hovered unspoken along skin, under breaths: Colby did respond so easily, so willingly, when given directions about food or checking in via text, and if that helped too…


His entire body made a note of that, and jumped to attention. He swore at himself. Tried to shove reactions down. Being professional. Being a good actor. Even if Colby liked one position they’d ended up in, that did not mean Colby would be ready for, or at all interested in, Jason’s dick trying to announce its willingness for more.


He cleared his throat. “Okay. So…you want to do it again?”
