My dear friend Addison Albright has a new MM time travel romance book out: “When Are You?”.
They have to find himâŚbut how?
A former member of an elite military special forces unit, Leo Bailey can handle anything life throws at him. Except maybe approaching a certain gorgeous, purple mohawk-wearing, heavily pierced artist. Not without his three eye-rolling wingmen along to push him in the right direction.
One look at the mouthwateringly muscled, military buzzcut-sporting man with the endearing blush, and Vincent Noland is in love. Or at least in lust. Love comes later. Then marriageâŚand sweet, adorable Oscar.
Life is perfectâthe stuff of fairy tale happily ever aftersâexcept for Arthur Fletcher, whose unsettling reactions to them threaten to upset the happy balance of their lives. But it isnât Arthur who throws their lives into turmoil.
A freak event causes Oscar to go missing and leaves both men frantic to rescue their son. As they piece together the clues, they discover that Oscar isnât somewhere. Heâs somewhen. And Arthur Fletcher holds the keyâor rather the glass beadsâto their one chance of finding Oscar.
Will Leoâs training, Vinnieâs determination, and Arthurâs knowledge help them rescue Oscar, or is the little boy doomed to spend the rest of his life at the mercy of a primitive civilization? Could there be a third possibility?

Excerpt
They reached the quivering wall of air and rushed through it to the sound of the old woman on the bench screaming as their shoes found purchase on the parkâs pervious rubber pathway, and they surged forwardâŚthen tumbled headlong onto the surface as the counterweight theyâd been pulling vanished.
Leo grunted as his forearms scraped along the path. He stared uncomprehendingly at the strollerâs handlebar, still clutched in one hand. The handlebar and about six inches of pole on either side ending with a clean cut.
Leo gaped, unblinking and breathing heavily, at the path behind them. The wavering airâŚit was gone. The air was normal.
The woman hadnât stopped screaming. Vinnie was pantingâhyperventilating?âand snatching at bits of light green fabric that matched the strollerâs canopy.
âOscar?â Leoâs voice came out in a squeak. Louder, he repeated, âOscar?â He sat up and scanned the area. An unrelenting hand clutched his heart. Squeezed it. Squelched it. Liquified it. Oscar was gone. The entire stroller, other than the handlebar, wasâŚgone.
Leo shoved his sunglasses to the top of his head. His breath caught in his throat, and he looked around again. He shouted, âOscar!â
âNo, no, no, noâŚâ Vinnie chanted as he stumbled to his feet and spun around, fruitlessly looking everywhereâŚanywhere. He snatched another bit of green fabric floating on the air. âNo, no, no, noâŚthis isnât happening.â
âOscar!â Leo yelled again. His stomach lurched, threatening to heave because their actions were pointless. Wherever theyâd been, thatâs where Oscar still was. The portal had snapped shut, cutting them off, but every cell in Leoâs body screamed in denial of this reality. âOscaaaaar!â
The woman stopped shrieking but sucked in rattling breaths behind her hands that now covered her face. Behind them on the path, voices broke through Leoâs focus.
âOh, my God, did you see that?â
âWhat the helljust happened?â
âThey just disappearedâŚintoâŚthin air.â
âWhat happened to the kid?â
âSomebody call 9-1-1!â
In the field, the people whoâd been kicking soccer balls had stilled and were staring, wide-eyed.
Vinnie crumpled to the ground, hugged his knees to his chest, bits of green fabric clutched in his hands, and rocked. Leo barely heard Vinnieâs words as they tore his heart in two. âNo, no, no, noâŚâ
Leo doubled over and retched. Heâd failed Oscar. Heâd failed Vinnie. Heâd failed. Utterly and completely failed.
He hadnât cried since middle school, but a garbled sob escaped him now. He dragged a forearm across his mouth and turned back toward where the wavy air had been. âOscaaaaar!â
âWhere did it go?â Vinnie choked on a rattling sob of his own. âWhere did it go? Weâve got to go back and get him! Where did it go?â
Leo lifted his face to the sky. âOscaaaaar!â
The faintest of echoes was the only answer to Leoâs agonized plea.
