I then used my art skills to extend the upper part of the image since the original did not fit in a 512x800 box. The text was added in a photo editor. Please do not steal this cover as it still took time and effort to both design and create. (Cover changed 10/12/2025.)

Emil Robertson is a little special with emphasis on the "little." He's twenty-two years old and has a unique family situation. "Unique" doesn't always mean "good," and it certainly does not hold positive connotations for Emil's situation. But he's got an amazing big sister and good parents that take care of him. Or at least, that's what Emil forced himself to believe about his parents for years until his sister brought home a man who becomes his savior. And that man will help Emil become more mentally stable with being the guiding hand in his life as well as becoming the love of his life and vice versa. ________________ WARNINGS: Abuse (not perpetuated by the main characters) Child abuse (mentions) Kidnapping - attempted and successful (not perpetuated by the main characters) Psychological problems PTSD and general trauma Age-regression Daddy Dom/Little Boy (DDLB) Dominant/Submissive Good things: Overcoming mental health issues Fluffy gay romance Emotional healing Sweet friendships New family members A little smut Side note: This story does not sexualize real littles. There is romance and smut, but it's between two adults with Emil in his adult mind. There is usage of "Daddy" and "Baby" in a few hot scenes until later in the book, but you will be able to recognize whenever Emil has mentally age-regressed. And he's not ever that way when he's doing naughty things with his lover/daddy dominant. ________________ I've been working on this story since very late 2018 and now I can start posting it! :3 The original teddy bear image is not mine, but it's copyright-free.
