Five stories. Five horizons. One journey home. Under Open Skies gathers five beautifully written BL romances that escape the concrete jungle for the healing power of the wild. From the turquoise depths of the islands to the misty peaks of the north, these stories explore how nature strips away our defenses to reveal the heart beneath. In The Island, an anxious city executive and a laid-back dive instructor are forced to shelter together during a tropical squall, learning that peace isn't found in controlling the waves, but in riding them. In Mountain Glamping, a freezing winter night on a mountain peak forces a polished influencer and a reclusive writer to share a single tent for warmth, blurring the lines between survival and intimacy. In The Rice Fields, a prodigal son returns for the harvest and reconnects with his childhood best friend, discovering that love is patience reflected in a sea of gold. In The Rainy Season Retreat, a disciplined writer and a chaotic artist trapped by a jungle landslide find that their best work-and their best selves-emerge only when they stop fighting the storm. And in Stargazing, an anxious scientist trying to document the universe meets a grounded ranger who teaches him to put down the lens and just look up. Each story captures the elemental power of nature to bring opposites together - written with warmth, sensory depth, and emotional truth. For readers who love atmospheric, forced-proximity, and opposites-attract MM romance, Under Open Skies is a breath of fresh air.
