Overview

Unscripted Silence One scandal broke his world. The North Atlantic will either mend him or bury him. Julian Vance was the ""Digital Prince"" of New York, a visionary filmmaker who lived his life through a lens and measured his worth in metrics. But when a devastating leak shatters his curated reputation, Julian flees the cameras and the crowds, driving until the pavement ends at the jagged, frozen edge of the Gaspé Peninsula. In the shadow of the Percé Rock, Julian meets Elias-a stoic, weathered restorer who understands the soul of stone and the honesty of timber. Elias doesn't care about Julian's millions of followers; he cares about the ""Atmospheric Pressure"" of the coming winter and whether the man standing before him has the grit to survive it. Together, they set out to build a sanctuary against the elements, hauling granite and carving cedar as a North Atlantic low-pressure system threatens to erase the ridge. For Julian, every blister and every bruise is a step away from the ""Digital Prince"" and a step toward something real. But as the snow closes in and his past begins to hunt him down, he realizes that the hardest thing to build isn't a house-it's a life that doesn't need a filter. From acclaimed author Marcus Andrews comes a raw, visceral LGBTQ+ romance about the power of the ""Long Take,"" the beauty of manual labor, and the profound intimacy found in the Unscripted Silence.
