Exposure
An age-gap M/M romance novel about risk and reward.It was a risk for Victor to come out. A risk for Andy to take the plunge with a younger, better-known performer. And a big risk when Victor's show decided to break boundaries. But when the time and the love is right ... sometimes you have to let the whole world see it.Andy's second act was as a commercial photographer, and he was doing all right. He kept getting new and interesting jobs, and meeting new and interesting people. The L.A. arts scene being what it was, those people kept turning up in interesting places ... like at the Brewery complex where he lived. Spotting actor Victor Garcia there after a tenant event was a welcome surprise.Victor was there to get a new tattoo. It was a carpe diem kind of night, and he'd liked Andy back when the older man did photography for Victor's stage project. So he went with the impulse. But in the morning light, all the potential complications knocked him sideways. It was going to take some time for them to find a path together. And with everyone watching, it was going to take some nerve.Adult situations, themes, and language; 83,000 words and a happy ending.

DNF @ 1%.
The POV switches are super frequent (7x so far), and as if that wasn’t bad enough, 3x so far the POV has switched without any indication (indicated by a ‘***’ page break in this case).

The actor and the photographer
After a scorching encounter, the deep in the closet actor runs but can't stop thinking of Andy. After the death of Victor's mother, he wonders whether he could finally come out...
Andy hadn't been able to forget Victor either but was devastated when Victor had lied and run.
When Victor approaches Andy again, Andy helps talk him through coming out but also requires him to work on himself...for a year, with no guarantees about them getting together.
The resulting love story is a long circle of them slowly spinning in tighter orbits for a year, two, three... great side characters who are rooting for them as they both grow and change.
