If the World Was Ending: A love story

By Victoria Denault

Hunter Law and Colby Keaton had no idea they'd rock each other's world harder than the earthquake that brought them together.

Colby Keaton is doing fine. Sure, his parents ignore him, he's gone no-contact with his siblings, and he plays shows that mostly pay him in drink tickets, but he's trying. And he's doing it without anyone's help. But when the Santa Ana winds drop a tree on his home/van, Colby finds himself leaning on someone for the first time in almost a decade -and it's a hot stranger he met during an earthquake.

Hunter Law is desperate - to manage his anxiety, impress his girlfriend, and land a role -any acting role. Then maybe everyone will stop thinking he's throwing his life away. But success is nowhere in sight. The only person who understands his blind ambition is Colby, the guy he met in an earthquake and later pulled out of a crushed van.

When nothing is going their way, and everyone wants them to give up, Colby and Hunter lean on each other and build each other up. Their friendship is unexpected but intense, and when it turns into best-friends-with-benefits, neither knows how to stop it... because neither wants to stop it.

But big breaks come with big sacrifices and as both climb toward stardom, their private bond becomes a dangerous liability. Studios, labels, managers and tabloid culture insist on classic, straight images for both of them. The truth is simple - Hunter and Colby just have to let each other go and they'll have everything they ever dreamed of.

If the World Was Ending is a bi-awkening MM Hollywood love story about the wild and heartwarming journey two men take when the world refuses to accept them together, but fate doesn't care.
