The Cruz Chronicles

The Cruz Chronicles includes the three books in the trilogy in one volume.

Simon wants to clear the air with Ace, except of course Ace is really Cruz. And he would like to see how things are going with Leonardo, so he makes a trip to Manila, hoping that he can avoid Rey.

It was Ace who had kept him coming back to Manila. He had met him in a macho dancer bar. He was new, young, naive and fresh from the provinces. Shy, always kept his underwear on. Maybe that’s what intrigued Simon. And with very little English. That’s where Rey had come in. The staff had brought Rey over to help translate. Simon had tried to ignore Rey, but he kept butting in, and asking for a drink. He was about to tell the staff to remove Rey when this other guy walked over. Tall, handsome. He introduced himself. He was Leonardo, Rey’s cousin. If he hadn’t found Ace, Simon would have gone for Leonardo.

But that was all history.

His return causes a chain reaction. Brothers and cousins, parents. All realise it’s time to be true to themselves, and find happiness. Except Rey. For Rey, there will be loneliness unless he can accept things.
