Andre in Flight — Laura Lascarso

When up-and-coming Miami painter Martin Fonseca encounters youthful pretty boy Andre Bellamy washing dishes in the kitchen of La Candela, he swears he's known him before, intimately. But Andre only arrived in Miami weeks ago, after running away from small-town Alabama and his abusive father. When Martin discovers Andre trading sexual favors for a place to stay, he offers him a room in his studio apartment. As roommates only.

What starts as a playful friendship turns into something more as Andre begins posing for Martin, whose true passion is painting fantastical portraits. Martin's obsession with Andre grows until they are sharing more than just flirtatious conversation. But when an eccentric art collector buys one of Martin's paintings, Martin's past jealousies resurface and threaten to destroy what he and Andre have so lovingly built.
