Summary: Short-short Story: 3,000 words / 12 pages Genre(s): Fiction -------------------------------------------------- A short-short story that may have you questioning what you would endure for love. -------------------------------------------------- Author’s Note (Sept 09, 2018): Earlier this week, I sat on my balcony splitting my attention between the book I was reading, and watching a new neighbor move into our condo complex. (I’d later find out his name is Noah, he’s incredibly free-spirited, a painter (artist), a surfer, and has this really cool bohemian vibe goin’ on.) As I watched him––clad only in a baggy pair of cargo shorts, high-top Converse, and an interesting array of skin-ink––I couldn’t help but notice the way his friend/moving helper openly admired him. Loving a Straight Boy was born. -------------------------------------------------- Tags: FREE READ, BITTERSWEET

Summary: The Philippines, 1946 After being discharged from the Marines, John Buchanan is offered a position as overseer for plantation owner Ignacio Saenz.

Finally, John has a chance to put his lifelong passion for vulcanology into practice. Gregorio Delgado, the current overseer, takes exception to this turn of events. He views John as an interloper and Ignacio’s offer as a thinly disguised excuse to marry off one of his six daughters. What neither of them expects is the powerful physical attraction that simmers between them. Could John be a kindred spirit, or is he just using Gregorio for his knowledge of farming to ingratiate himself with his potential father-in-law? As John and Gregorio begin a tour of the haciendas, John discovers he has far more in common with his new acquaintance than he thought possible. Torn between honor and desire, John struggles to define who he is and what Gregorio could mean to him.
