About
For his entire life, Icarus has been told that he's destined for greatness, although he would settle for finding a lover that held his interest. Only when he learns of his special connection to the sun god Apollo does Icarus set his sights on the heavens. Infatuated, he does everything in his power to attract the handsome deity's attention. This quest is complicated when the sins of his father incur the king's wrath. To save his family, Icarus must take flight, but will the Fates show mercy and guide him into the arms of the divine love that he so desperately seeks?Jay Bell skillfully weaves a passionate retelling of the classic myth of Icarus, adding a gay twist that reveals what truly happens when a brave heart dares to fly too high. Jay Bell is a proud gay man and the award-winning author behind dozens of emotional and yet hopelessly optimistic stories. His best-selling book, Something Like Summer, spawned a series of heart-wrenching novels, a musically driven movie, and a lovingly drawn comic. When not crafting imaginary worlds, he occupies his free time with animals, art, action figures, and-most ardently-his husband Andreas. Jay is always dreaming up new stories about boys in love.
