Waiting for the Flood

A quiet man. A rising river. A second chance he never thought he'd take. From Alexis Hall, author of Boyfriend Material and Glitterland, comes a soul-deep LGBTQ+ romance about grief, gentleness, and the unexpected beauty of beginning again. Edwin Tully keeps to himself. Once shattered by heartbreak, he now lives among the faded books and watermarks of a life paused―until a flood, both literal and emotional, rushes into his world. With it comes Adam Dacre: no-nonsense, boots-on-the-ground, and unexpectedly kind. He's not here to rescue anyone...but he just might show Edwin how to rescue himself. As stormwaters rise, Edwin must decide: should he stay safely distant or risk everything for a love that could bring him back to life? For readers who crave a gentle, introspective M/M romance; slow-burn emotional connection, and queer love stories that heal more than just hearts, with rich, lyrical prose praised as “achingly poetic” and “breathtaking.” “A masterclass in subtle, emotional storytelling” ― Juliet Fox Reads “I’ve always enjoyed Alexis Hall’s skill as a wordsmith…and Waiting for the Flood is surely one of his highest achievements on that score. The writing is astonishingly beautiful―lyrical, insightful, painful, funny, truthful” ― All About Romance BONUS CONTENT Includes Chasing the Light, an exclusive novella following Edwin’s ex, Marius, as he rediscovers intimacy, joy, and the fragile courage of starting over.
