The Man After Midnight

Chicago, 1934. By day, Eddie lives a careful life—husband, father, factory worker, a man who follows the rules because he's learned what happens when you don't. Tom is his neighbor, his workmate, his closest friend. The man who walks beside him to the factory each morning. The man who knows his silences better than anyone else. Their friendship deepens quietly, built on shared labor, shared secrets, and the long hours that leave little room for honesty. Until one night, Eddie follows Tom into a Prohibition-era speakeasy—and discovers a hidden room beneath it where truth is allowed to surface. What begins as trust turns into tension. What begins as control becomes intimacy. And what neither man intended becomes impossible to deny. As desire sharpens and the boundaries of their carefully built lives begin to crack, Eddie and Tom must confront the cost of living divided—and decide whether the connection they've found is worth losing everything else. The Man After Midnight is a sensual, emotionally charged MM erotic romance set in the shadows of Prohibition, exploring power and vulnerability, friendship turned devotion, and the kind of love that refuses to stay hidden once it's been named.
