Bloom, Gay, Shine

By R.J. Young

He was the god of light, prophecy, poetry... and a centuries-old guilt he couldn't shake.

Apollo has lived lifetimes basking in glory, golden and untouchable-until a quiet mortal gardener with gentle hands and Hyacinthus' eyes derails his divine routine.

When he discovers Miles, a long-lost descendant of his first great love, the sun god finds himself doing the unthinkable: lingering. Watching. Falling. And then-crashing.

What begins as a noble quest for "inspiration" soon unravels into tangled feelings, clumsy coffee dates, mortal danger, and divine longing. As their bond deepens, Apollo must confront the consequences of love, both ancient and new. Because being a god means power... but choosing to love again? That takes courage.
