Screw Your Courage by Alexandra Caluen

A midlife M/M romance novella about equality.

Casimir has a good life: a nice little house, a hard-to-get job, and an online store for his Shakespeare-inspired paintings. The only thing he's missing is someone to come home to. Then ballet teacher Misha rings his doorbell.

Misha risked everything on America twenty years ago, and so far the risk has paid off. The only thing he's missing is someone to share his future. Then he drops in at the online store's showroom and meets the painter.

Casimir let his job cost him one important relationship already. Within a day of meeting Misha, he's willing to take the biggest risk of his professional life. And Misha's willing to stand at his side, no matter what happens.

Adult situation, themes, and language; 32,500 words and a happy ending.
