Marooned - by Ben Chalfin (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

TV's Survivor meets The Charm Offensive in this contemporary LGBTQIA+ romance.

Ryan Levine is a contestant on the newest season of Marooned, the hit reality show where eighteen people are stranded on a desert island, competing in challenges and voting each other out until one is left to claim the million-dollar prize. All he cares about is bringing home the money, and he's determined to not let anything stand in his way.

That all changes when he meets Cole Walker, his handsome tribemate with a ready smile and a quick laugh--and, of course, a perfect body. In other words, Cole is a distraction, and that's the one thing Ryan can't afford, not when the slightest mistake could get him voted out. Will he be able to navigate the twists and turns of the game and win the million? Or will he go home with nothing but empty pockets and a broken heart?
