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.

Jason raised eyebrows. “You like me telling you what to do, don’t you? That works for you.”


“Oh God,” Colby said, and slid down a bit in the bed and put an arm over his face, but then lifted it to peer out. “Would you like to know that I’ve been this bloody turned on ever since—well, not when I very first woke up—but about two seconds after that? When you said good morning? Because I have.”


Jason had to laugh. “So you totally do like it when I talk. And, um, if you want to know—tell me if you don’t want to know this—” It’s worse when you know that someone wants you, he’d summarized the night before, and Colby had agreed. More frightening, because more physical, visceral, imminent. “But, um, me too. Waking up with you.”


Colby moved the arm. Eyes wide, but not from trepidation. Jason hoped not, anyway. “Oh! Really? You didn’t say anything!”
