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.

He kicked those thoughts away. Forcefully.


They must’ve shown on his face, though. Jason swore, not loud but vehement. “If I ever meet your ex I’m gonna castrate him.”


“Slowly,” Jason added. With menace.


“But,” Colby said, perplexed. “But…look, there are bits I like, I…I honestly do like making someone else feel good? I like being told what to do, what they want, so that I can know that I ammaking them feel good? That part’s nice. One time Liam put me on my knees and told me to stay and fucked my mouth and didn’t let me come, and that felt interesting, I would’ve liked to get off but I didn’t need to, if that was what he wanted, and he told me I’d been very good, after, and I did quite enjoy that.”


“Christ.” Jason dragged a hand over his face. “Colby…”


“I canbe good at sex,” Colby explained. “At least I can try. If you let me know what you’d like. I can do whatever you like. It’s like acting, isn’t it?”
