A South Beach MM Romance of Tech, Temptation, and Unexpected Love

What happens when the guy everyone overlooks turns out to be the one everyone needs?

Larry Leavis is six-foot-six, awkward, brilliant, and used to being invisible in a room full of beautiful men on South Beach. A gifted programmer just starting his career in Miami’s buzzing tech scene, he’s more comfortable behind a keyboard than on a dance floor. Romance? That’s for other people. Larry fixes Wi-Fi, writes clean code, and keeps his crushes safely locked in his imagination.

Until one night at a South Beach café-bar changes everything.

Julian Argento is confident, gorgeous, and fresh from Silicon Valley, armed with charm, ambition, and a revolutionary idea. A deeply personal AI, one that belongs to its user, not a corporation. He needs a programmer who can make the impossible real. Larry is exactly that.

As work turns into long nights, intense conversations, and undeniable chemistry, Larry finds himself pulled into Julian’s orbit, where tech startups, wealthy investors, and Miami’s glittering gay nightlife collide. But attraction gets complicated when power, money, and class differences enter the mix…especially when another man sets his sights on both the project and Larry.

Caught between desire and self-doubt, career opportunity and emotional risk, Larry must decide whether he’s willing to step out of the shadows and claim both his talent and his heart.
