It's Gerald's wedding night. He's just married James, but he doesn't feel the way he thought he would. His usual tactics of sex, drink, and drugs have failed to fill the void, and after his daddy issues lead him to misinterpret an offhand remark made by his estranged father, Gerald sets off on a night of self-sabotage, confronting the demons that have left him feeling emotionally detached his whole life. Only when he addresses his need for gratification and tendencies to act out can he heal his childhood trauma and feel true love.
Tin Man Nuptials is an LGBT+ contemporary erotic romance, dealing with substance abuse and hypersexuality that exist as normalised within the gay community, the divide between the gay and straight worlds, relationships between divorced parents and their children, and the importance of open communication and honesty in maintaining healthy relationships. The novel explores these themes with a biting and dry narrative perspective to retain a lightness throughout.
