Blurb:

Qi Jiang - Heading into the last quarter of my senior year, I have all my ducks in a row. Ever since watching the world turn its back on my sibling for being queer, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I've been accepted to my dream university to pursue a law degree to become a human rights lawyer.

I have everything figured out, except my love life. My friends keep pushing me to date people but there's never a spark. At the beginning of my senior year I figured out I'm on the ace spectrum, most likely an aromantic aceflux. But I have more important things to worry about right now.

I've stopped trying to date. Told my friends to quit setting me up, so how did I go from raising awareness for queer youth at a charity event to being auctioned off to a guy who looks like a locker-room pinup?

Tristan Donovan - Money, power, prestige. All-American high school quarterback right here. Just got accepted to one of the most elite universities in the country. Nepotism-sure as hell looks like it, but no, actually not so much. There's the mask I wear at school, and then the few who know who I really am underneath. I'd like to think there's more to me than what meets the eye, but I've shut myself down for so long I don't know anymore.

Until I see him, and then everything changes. Love at first sight? Don't believe there's enough of a connection for that to be verifiable. Lust at first sight? Don't think that works for someone who has never really felt lust. So then, maybe soulmate recognition? I don't know how else to explain how I become instantly drawn to a stranger, but here I am. And when his friends put three dates with him up for auction, there's no way I'm about to lose the chance to get to know him.

Join Tristan and Qi on a journey of learning there are a million ways to be on the asexual spectrum but only one way to be uniquely themselves in this sweet and swoony low-angst romance with an aceflux MC who has a demiromantic awakening and the other MC who has a pan-greyrose awakening. Expect cute dates, honest confessions, lots of blushes, tons of support and lots of love. There's a little spice, but there's a higher emphasis on intimacy.

Kandyce .Marie

Iโ€™m an MM author. I would love to say Iโ€™m a low-angst author, but I can never seem to leave the mental health rep out of my stories long enough to achieve that. However, I at the very least, can guarantee all my stories are loaded with swoon-worthy moments & have an HEA!

Iโ€™m an asexual mother of two. I spent most of my life knowing I was on the queer spectrum but never really knowing quite where I fit in. My characters explore sexual identities that slide on the spectrum simply because it took me 20 years to figure out exactly where I sat.

I have dyslexia that tends to affect my sentence structure when I write. I try to catch it all, but sometimes if the words in my sentences are in the wrong place, thatโ€™s why.

I also have a slew of other, well most people call them personality disorders, but I call them personality enhancers. However, that being said, I am ridiculously socially awkward and have a hard time connecting with people, no matter how hard I try. I love when people reach out to me, but I have the conversational skills of a drab concrete wall. Luckily that particular hindrance doesnโ€™t translate to my characters.
