Nobody Else

A year after the collapse of his fifteen-year relationship, he returns to San Francisco from self-imposed exile in New York, hoping distance has dulled the edges of heartbreak. Instead, he finds himself pulled back into the orbit of familiar friends, unresolved grief, and the man who replaced him.

Trying to move forward, Kevin begins an unexpected relationship with Dylan Bennett, a younger man whose warmth and sincerity offer the possibility of something new. But when secrets surface—secrets tied to betrayal, loyalty, and a tragedy no one saw coming—Kevin is forced to confront the patterns that have shaped his past and the walls he’s built around his heart.

Set against the backdrop of San Francisco and New York, Nobody Else is a story about love after loss, the damage left behind by silence, and the fragile hope of second chances. It explores what it means to forgive, when forgiveness feels impossible—and whether two people can find their way back to each other after everything has gone wrong.

Tender, intimate, and unflinchingly honest, Nobody Else is a contemporary LGBTQ+ novel about grief, trust, and the courage it takes to begin again.
