You can be anyone when we’re together, so lie to me. Don’t tell me who you are. Tell me who you want to be.
When Armando Cortez and I meet after his son’s wedding, both of our lives are at a crossroads. There are things he doesn’t want to talk about, like whatever’s causing the sadness in his eyes. There’s plenty I don’t want to tell him either, like the fact that I’m on the run from a criminal past, and that I’m close to his son’s age.
So, we agree to lie to each other and leave real life at the door—all our complications, our baggage, our past. We’ll let this be a fantasy, an escape. This is just supposed to be a casual fling anyway, so what could go wrong?
This low-angst, age gap, opposites attract gay romance is part of Alexa Land’s Firsts and Forever Stories collection, and it can be read as a stand-alone.
Genre: Gay Romance
