Love, Forty
£3.99Add to cartLove, Forty: A Novel
Read with pride. A gay romance novel about loss, love, and the courage to come home.
Alessandro Moretti is Italy’s tennis golden boy, destined for glory. But at sixteen, a terrifying secret awakens: his attraction is for the boys he plays against, not the girls who cheer for him. His passionate, secret love affair with artist Matteo leads to a devastating discovery by his traditional family, resulting in a brutal exile that shatters his world.
This emotional MM romance follows Ale as he reinvents himself as “Il Gladiatore,” a cold, untouchable champion who dominates the tennis world for over a decade. His success is a hollow echo of his loneliness. A family tragedy forces him to return to Rome and confront the parents who cast him out. In a hard-won reconciliation with his mother, he discovers that time and loss can change hearts. With the support of a new love, Gabriel, Ale begins to heal the wounds of his past.
The journey culminates in a triumphant final at the Italian Open, where Ale must step onto the court as his authentic self. With his reclaimed family watching, he plays for more than a trophy—he plays for his future.
Love, Forty is a powerful story of self-discovery, the scars and strength of family, and the courage to love against all odds. Perfect for fans of heartfelt LGBTQ+ fiction and emotional gay romance books. Read with pride.
