Synopsis "Be Mine (in English)"
One is void of emotion while the other is full of hope-but love doesn't care about polar opposites attracting. Will they care?Mark is a self-proclaimed nihilist who doesn't believe in anything, especially not a holiday like Valentine's Day, which was created, he purports, as a way to increase sales of chocolate. All he wants to do is to draw cartoons and lie around in his studio flat, painting obscure scenes and staring out the window at the vast expanse of nothingness in El Paso, Texas. But on a drab and ordinary Monday, Mark is struck by something other than the usual emotional void: Tristan. Mark is slammed by passionate curiosity. Who is this beautiful creature with a film camera, when the digital age is upon them? How did he get here? Why is his skin so smooth and moisturized in such a dry heat? Who is this guy?While Mark is distracted from his drawing, Tristan notices him. Tristan notices him. He didn't know what to do, or how to act, or how to even smile. But a surprising bond forms when Tristan invites Mark to a photo shoot. All that wonderful, void-filled pleasure that Mark usually feels is discarded for the joy that Tristan brings. He wants more-so he asks for more. As their relationship develops, Mark begins to question his life as well as Tristan's motives. Here was a beautiful man who wanted nothing more than to give Mark every affection possible. But when Mark becomes paranoid about their bond, he considers his alternatives-giving in to the romantic rush of a corporate holiday or spending his life always wondering why he never gave Tristan a chance.Please Note: This book contains adult language & steamy adult activities, it is intended for 18+ Adults Only.
