This story will be a little different than my other works.

A noticeable departure will be that the characters are not in a monogamous relationship. Every chapter will have tickling, playfulness, adorable and loving characters, some sex scenes, and lots of affection. However, not every adventure will involve tickling. I'm shooting for more action packed excitement, and danger with little to no loss of life.

When Evan discovers an old photograph of two young men standing shoulder to shoulder in 1920s Newhaven, he uncovers the hidden story of Kit Merrick and Rowan Hale—dockworkers who dared to love each other in a world that offered them no words for it. What began as a ten-cent fairground portrait became their proof: tucked into a cap, stitched into a coat pocket, guarded through storms, family burdens, and the long work of becoming men. Decades later, as Evan frames the picture and gives it light, he realizes that their secret has outlasted silence—a fragile inch of closeness captured on film, carrying a love strong enough to endure across time.

What gay man wouldn't kneel in front of him and offer his mouth? Sure, he offered to blow me, but Scott just HAD to return the favor.
