Broken Boundaries
A while ago the question of what if an alien is so cute, a straight guy can't help but still fall in love depite the alien being male, came to me. And of course, the idea for a new story was born soon thereafter. This is the result, my latest novel set in the science fiction Aoyu Universe as of this writing, and the first (and at this time only) gay/bisexual romance themed story that I've written. --- During the Earth-Silth conflicts, two commanders of opposing warships played a game of chicken at one of the outer known solar systems, the result being a head-on collision and two ships fused together at the bows. After the cease fire agreement plans were made to salvage what they could from the ships and Alain from Earth was sent as part of a two man crew to recover components from the Earth vessel while a team from the Silth would handle theirs. Things turned out much different from the moment he launched from Earth. --- For more on the Aoyu Universe, see the first two stories I wrote in it in my submissions; Abandoned with the Enemy, and Meeting the New Enemy. For the ones who can't wait until it's completely posted here, the ebook can be found on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/13697544 and on Amazon: http://amzn.com/B07YMJJZPYComplete

While Henry is done with being in the spotlight, he's always knew that to love Alex, he'll have to continue to be.

Alex, meanwhile is too wrapped up in politics to see how much Henry is suffering, and in his attempt to balance being everything to everyone, turns to vice. Will this be the thing that tears them apart? How can they both be happy if one of them has to sacrifice the life they have always desired?

That is, until the war comes. When the town is abandoned to enemy forces by a worn and rapidly retreating British army, Alex has to decide between committing to protect a people that have never shown her true affection, or deserting them altogether to suffer a terrible fate.Complete
