    Summary

    The day they get married, the things he knows about Stede could fit on a post-it note.

    First: he’s fucking rich.

    Second: he needs a husband to stay that way.

    Third: he is built like a brick shithouse. Pretty eyes, nice hair. Penchant for weird socks.

    (Or: 5 times Ed doesn't tell his husband he loves him, and 1 time he does.)

    Summary

    Ed and Stede were childhood best friends, then childhood sweethearts, then teenage lovers—and then, quite suddenly, they were nothing.

    Stede's fault, he knows. He has never forgiven himself. He expects Ed hasn't forgiven him, either.

    What he doesn't expect is for Ed—now a famous musician, living a life far bigger than Stede or their tiny little hometown—to show up here, today, twenty-five years later. To Stede's father's funeral, of all things.

    In the pool house. Of all places.

    Summary

    When charming gallery owner Ed asks soft-hearted, struggling artist Stede to pretend to be his boyfriend for one night, neither expects how quickly pretend will start to feel real. As the lines blur, friendships deepen, hearts open, and healing begins. Featuring found family, love letters disguised as paintings, and a whole lot of yearning, this is a story about being seen, being loved, and finally seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes.

    Summary

    Ed was basically fine. His knee was killing him for sure and he was banged up a bit beyond that, but that was a pirate’s life for you. He’d thought once that he could give it up, but – whatever. In the past. The point was, it was nothing he couldn’t handle.

    Stede, though. Stede was not fine. He hadn’t been fine in days, from the look of him, maybe weeks. Bruised, cut, his clothes hanging off him; his right arm was broken, and they were – he was lucky it was recent enough not to heal wrong.

    While the two are still separated, Ed finds out that Stede is being held prisoner and joins with his crew to stage a rescue. They find that Stede is hurt and traumatized, and despite everything, Ed can't leave him. So he tries his best to look after the man who is, after all, the love of his life ...
