2025 Revised Edition
Calvin Kelley has spent his life pushing love away out of fear for what it costs.
A dedicated platypus zookeeper, Calvin is patient, methodical, and demisexual. Beneath his steady presence, he grapples with anxiety, while emotionally avoiding the love he doesn't believe he deserves.
Twice Aiden's age, he knows better than to fall for the reckless, sex-positive intern who is relentless in his pursuit of love. But it isn't just the age gap...
Syrus, the brooding vet, is an unshakable presence in Calvin's life. He's stayed without question, without demands, without asking for anything in return. But even his devotion has a breaking point...
When an animal threat endangers them, it demands that they get very clear, very fast on what they're willing to risk for each other.
Will Calvin grow, or stay stuck in his ways? Is Aiden's carefree attitude grounded in maturity or avoidance? How can Syrus carry it all by himself for one more day?
Turns out, the local bartender knows all this, and more...

Why Choose, Slow Burn
Contemporary Age Gap
About the Trilogy:
Wild Entanglement is the first book in the spicy, slow burn, age-gap, why-choose romance. This story is a heart-wrenching, deeply tender romance about life, loss, and the relationships that define us. With "characters that feel more like friends than fiction," this trilogy will give you laughter, tears, and deep contemplation about your life.
If you love stories with MCs over 30, this is the perfect read for you. Written by a member of the polyamory and ENM (ethical non-monogamy) community, this story is more than a 'fantasy.' It's grounded in real-world experiences of communication, consent, and the liberation that comes from breaking out of boxes.
No generative AI has been used in the creation of this series. The editing, covers, formatting, branding, publication, and writing are brought to you by a team of artists and Evie. Ethical use of Grammarly, AutoCrit, OpenAI, and Microsoft Word has been used to assist in basic editing for spelling, grammar, sentence structure, etc.
