Forget Shakespeare, this is definitely one love story you haven’t heard.
Two men, two polar opposite walks of life.
Romeo Monroe is a successful model for one of the world’s biggest names in men’s underwear. Rich, charming, and exceptionally great-looking who also happens to be single.
Julian Carmichael is a successful construction worker and also single. Thanks to his father’s hefty financial investment, Julian is able to live a comfortable life.
So why the single status?
Because they’re both closeted homosexual men.
Both their parents work in high-profile industries and have their own secrets—a strong hatred for homosexuals, and these two men have a lot to lose if their secret gets out.
There’s an instant attraction. Their worlds collide, and these two star-crossed lovers start a dangerous and steamy affair.
Will they survive it? Or meet the same tragic demise as William Shakespeare’s ill-fated lovers?
A contemporary re-telling of Shakespeare’s tragic play, with a modern day twist.
