商品簡介
After the Navy boots him out, Tristan is screwed. Without an honorable discharge or a college degree, his job prospects are grim. If only he knew a service member who was willing to get married, make Tristan a dependent, and transfer his GI Bill. Such as, say, a former coworker who's single, gay, and wants his family off his back about his refusal to settle down...and who maybe feels guilty for his role in Tristan losing his career.
Casey has never liked Tristan, but the plan is irresistible. In fact, it's perfect. Now Tristan has health insurance and a place to live, and he's going to school. Meanwhile, Casey's conscience is assuaged, and he's still sleeping his way through town while his family is none the wiser. The guys stay out of each other's way, and it's all good.
Right up until a pandemic locks everything down.
Suddenly it's just Casey and Tristan...and maybe that's not such a bad thing. In a time when they're both desperate for strength, support, and human contact, they find them in the most unexpected place: each other.
But when feelings come into play, is it something real? Or just two lonely men making the best of terrifying times? And how in the world do Casey and Tristan tell the difference?
Until the World Stops is a 72,000-word standalone gay romance.
CW: COVID-19
A note from the author:
As the events of 2020 have unfolded, in particular the COVID-19 pandemic, I've debated when and how to incorporate that reality into my work. It's not something I want to make light of or capitalize on, but it has become a part of our lives, and one that doesn't look to be going anywhere any time soon. There comes a point when-if I'm to write about life-I need to write about the ugly parts too. For that matter, writing is how I process the world around me, and as time has gone on, I've found myself needing the catharsis of looking this reality in the eye and putting it into words as best I can.
Most importantly, however, this is a time when we all need hope and even moments of peace. While pure escapism is important to me, so too is finding that hope and peace when everything feels so bleak.
So it's with that in mind that I give you a couple of guys finding a little bit of light when all the world feels dark.
