Under the ghostly glow of a Nassau moon, César and Roberto’s adventure begins when they stumble upon a cryptic letter on a haunted stretch of beach. This discovery propels them on a daring quest through the fog-shrouded alleys of Nassau, chasing the legend of a pirate’s lost treasure.

As they unravel clues entangled with tales of ancient shipwrecks and secretive maps, the eerie silence of secluded shores and the spectral sightings of ghost ships guide their journey. When they unearth a trove of old letters and keepsakes that tell a touching story of a forbidden gay romance, it resonates deeply with them, reminding them that the richest treasures are not always made of gold but of the heart. This revelation forces them both to silently confront their own burgeoning feelings...

However, a challenge looms. Roberto yearns to leave Nassau, driven by the allure of money and adventure. Meanwhile, if Cesar's brother ever finds out about their feelings, he would be furious...

As the Caribbean night deepens, César faces a pivotal choice: reveal his desires or let Roberto slip away to new adventures without him...

Please know that by purchasing this ebook through itch.io at its listed price, you're directly supporting the author and contributing to a movement that ensures writers receive fair compensation for their work.

Why this matters: Many large retailers offer subscription-based reading services where authors often receive minimal compensation for their work—sometimes mere cents for hundreds of pages read. This model, while convenient for readers, often undervalues authors' efforts and creativity, and books that don't sign up lose the popularity race, devoiding the author of any purchases. By buying this e-book directly through itch.io, you're supporting a fairer model that better recognizes the author's work.
