Summary: A raw, intimate MM romance set beneath wide desert skies, Where the Desert Glows is a story about loneliness, quiet devotion, and choosing each other when the world keeps asking you to disappear. Skye I’m good at taking up space. I stay loud, keep moving. Working at a veterinary clinic keeps me busy enough to avoid stillness. Stillness is dangerous, and the quiet lets things catch up to me. Then a favor for my brother pulls me into the Mojave with his fellow mechanic and my good friend Darren, a quiet former Army medic who sees straight through my nerves. We’re supposed to pick up custom-requested paint from a desert artist and head home. Instead, we stumble onto a sketchy shipment falsely tied to Phoenix Cycles, no cell signal, and a situation that spirals fast. No matter what the desert throws at us, Darren doesn’t try to fix me or tell me I’m wrong. He just stays, solid and steady. Falling for him means stopping long enough to believe I'm not actually broken, and that realization might be the scariest thing of all. Darren I’ve spent my life holding broken things together. My love life. My professional life. Bodies. Motorcycles. Other people’s pain. I trust what’s solid, what can be carried, what can be endured without complaint. Skye has been my good friend for a while now. Too nervous, too brazenly honest, too easy to care about if I let myself think about him too long. I’ve always told myself it was safer to keep a little distance between us. That's when a routine trip into the Mojave goes wrong. The desert strips everything down to survival, and suddenly the things I’ve been avoiding matter less than the man standing beside me.

Summary: College was supposed to be the beginning. Instead, it feels like everything might fall apart. When the boys are faced with a life-altering bombshell—everything they thought was solid suddenly feels fragile. For Tay, the idea of losing Third is unthinkable. They’ve always been two peas in a pod, inseparable since kindergarten. Add Toby into the mix, and it becomes clear that what the three of them share goes far deeper than friendship—something closer to an emotional throuple that none of them are quite ready to label. Third is spiraling too. As an asexual who’s never felt like he fits even the labels meant for him, the possibility of leaving forces him to question what love really looks like for him. Is what he has with Andie enough to justify walking away from his chosen family? Or is the emotional bond he shares with Tay—and by extension Toby—the truest relationship he’s ever known? As life ramps up, the boys juggle classes, jobs, and adulthood’s responsibilities, all while waiting for a decision that could change their lives forever. Jane, feeling the quiet drift that comes with growing up, is determined to keep the group together—whether that means an awkward football game coached by Kevin or forcing everyone into a restaurant booth long enough to remember why they matter to each other. An event at the LGBTQIA+ Center brings a few familiar faces, including Lucas, Steve, Charlie, and even Georgie, G, and Jake (from BARISTA BREWED LOVE and THE GEORGES AND JAKE MAKES THREE). Between holiday visits, family get togethers, hospital scares, unexpected phone calls, and moments of quiet reassurance, the boys are reminded of what truly defines family for them: trust, love, and showing up—even when the future is uncertain. It’s All Good Until You Start Adulting is a tender, emotionally rich continuation of the series—about love without rules, growing up without a map, and discovering that ‘chosen family’ is the best choice of all.
