Love Beyond Time, Before the Last Grain...
Miles Langford and Alex Wilkins have been a unit for thirty-plus years, since Alex took his breath away in a French bistro on a January morning in 1989. With an incredible gift of time travel, Alex finds himself reliving the moments they first laid eyes on each other as a way to cope with his daily stressors. Miles, the love of his life and a Captain with the NYPD, has advanced prostate cancer.
Miles and Alex are assaulted with the realities of his disease which reach far beyond just physical symptoms. After losing their two best friends, adopted brothers by choice, both men are left with an even bigger void to fill their hearts. And Miles is tasked with retiring from the police force earlier than expected while Alex uses his gift to keep himself locked in the good old days. But the conditions of Alex's abilities catch him by surprise, prohibiting him from altering another person's past to impact them in the future.
The concept of mortality tugs at Miles, a bona fide hero, sending him on a final mission to protect his lifetime partner, a task which stands to threaten Alex's grasp on their situation. But Alex decides to find consolation in his gift anyway, providing him a journey through their relationship before the hourglass runs out.
**Trigger warning: this book includes themes such as extreme grief, alcohol use, smoking, marijuana use, excessive language, and little violence during a scene featuring homophobic gang members. Please use discretion before reading if you feel you may be sensitive to these topics. Sands of Time is a high angst tragic romance centering heavily around the concept of being diagnosed and living with the disease personally, as well as through the vernacular of family and friends. There IS an incredibly happy, yet unconventional HEA to this title. **
