18 Candles: Book Two: In The Still of the Night

By Jason Buss

Some love stories begin with a kiss.

This one begins with a secret.

Days before Gavin Mitchell's wedding, Derek Lawson and Ian Mitchell are falling hopelessly, recklessly in love. Every stolen glance, every late-night phone call, every moment together feels like a miracle.

It also feels dangerous.

Because Gavin is Derek's best friend.

Because Ian is Gavin's little brother.

And because someone knows.

As wedding week draws closer, the walls around their secret begin to crack. A former lover refuses to let Derek go. Old promises become weapons. Hidden truths threaten to destroy the family both men would do anything to protect.

For one perfect summer week, Derek and Ian have found something worth risking everything for.

But love doesn't stay hidden forever.

And in the still of the night, someone is always watching.

18 Candles: Book Two - In the Still of the Night is an emotional LGBTQ+ romance about first love, family loyalty, and the price of being seen.
