The Captain's Kiss - Prologue

This is a free, unedited preview released for Pride 2025.
(Donations are welcome but not expected.)

Ash Hughes is a thirty-four-year-old hitman for an organized crime family who has never really made a strong personal connection. In his line of work, it doesn't pay to make friends. Axel Graves is a twenty-nine-year-old captain in the same organization. He is ambitious, but not enough to get him whacked. When the two meet, sparks fly, and the stage is set for an upcoming MMM mafia romance.

This story features:

• MM pairing
• Bi+ protagonists
• Forbidden romance (for homophobia in the mob reasons)

Note: Errors and omissions are likely. If that will upset you, please hold out for the full, edited short story collection expected to drop in mid 2026.

Trigger Warning:

• I took liberties with the organized crime motif, but as noted in the features, there are references to homophobia. Additionally one of the queer characters makes a homophobic remark when trying to feel out the other.
