Weight of a Lifetime

Weight of a Lifetime - Expanded EditionIncludes exclusive bonus content artwork! A Plus-size Brawny MM Magic Realism Gay Romance What happens when your body changes faster than your mind can keep up? Daniel Griffen was restless and unsatisfied, but at least he was comfortable in his skin-a disciplined, 165-pound IT professional living a quiet, orderly life. But when a rare, irreversible pharmaceutical reaction alters his metabolism overnight, Dan finds himself caught in an unstoppable physical expansion. As the scale climbs, his old clothes, old habits, and old identity crumble. Terrified of losing his independence and good looks, he retreats from a world he feels would no longer value him. During a harrowing medical consultation, he meets a charismatic and mountainous former athlete who has navigated the exact same life-altering shift. As this mentor becomes a friend, he doesn't manipulate nor does he offer pity or platitudes. Instead, he offers a radical new perspective: that physical bulk isn't necessarily a failure to be hidden, but can become a grounded form of strength, presence, and authority. When an unlikely friendship deepens into mutual passion, Dan must decide whether he will spend his life mourning the man he used to be... or step into a future big enough to hold them both. A fast-paced, contemporary, standalone adult novella of approximately 48,000 words. No cliffhanger. Highly sensory and a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for a quick steamy read or afternoon escape!
