Celebrating the Surrender Love 5th anniversary, a quiet MM Science Fiction Romance about immortality, healing, and the courage to risk the heart.
Five years ago, I released Surrender Love—a quiet story about what it costs to be known.
Luc Saint-Cyr has survived for centuries by mastering restraint. Power, secrecy, endurance—these are the tools of immortals. Love is not one of them. Love asks for risk, and risk is how immortals lose everything. For the Surrender Love 5th anniversary, I wanted to show his reality, and Izzorah's impact.
Surviving is something immortals always do.
Loving means you risk surviving alone.
Izzorah enters Luc’s life without armor. Fragile in body, fierce in heart, he offers something immortality never could: peace. Not safety. Not certainty. Peace.
Healing binds them long before devotion does. And when love finally takes shape, it is neither loud nor reckless. It is chosen. It is surrendered to. It is accepted with full awareness of what it might destroy.
There are stories that shout, and stories that stay. The Surrender Love 5th anniversary shows how a single book can power a difference.
Surrender Love was always meant to stay—to linger in the quiet space where devotion is chosen without certainty and love is offered without guarantees.
Luc and Izzorah remind us that endurance can keep you alive, but only connection makes survival meaningful. Even now, years later, their love remains tender not because it is safe—but because it was never meant to be.
Some risks are worth carrying forever.
Surrender Love is a story about forbidden healing, about restraint undone, and about the quiet courage it takes to believe you can be loved for who you truly are—if you’re willing to risk your heart.
During the Surrender Love 5th anniversary, I'm pleased to say that Luc and Izzorah remain a reminder that survival is not the same as living.
Happy Book Birthday.
Every lifetime, Luc breaks the one rule immortals live by: never fall in love with a mortal.
Luc Saint-Cyr has survived millennia by controlling how the world is allowed to see him—powerful, restrained, and alone. Bound by duty to a king whose missions allow no distraction, Luc has no room for mistakes—let alone forbidden love.
Then he meets Izzorah.
A gifted alien musician with rare blood and a fragile body, Izzorah brings Luc something he thought long extinct: peace. But when Izzorah is gravely injured and synthetic medicine fails, Luc does the unthinkable. He shares his immortal blood, risking exposure of a secret that could awaken ancient enemies who have hunted his kind across centuries.
Immortal blood heals.
It also changes everything.
As Izzorah recovers, truths surface on both sides. Izzorah has hidden his near-blindness and his ability to read emotions to survive among humans. Luc has hidden his immortality—and the depth of his longing—for far longer. When the masks fall, love becomes both salvation and threat.
Because if the Empire discovers what Luc has done, the consequences will ripple far beyond them both.
Surrender Love is a sensual M/M science fiction romance about forbidden healing, restraint undone, and choosing love in a universe where survival has always come first.
Happy Ever After.
