Mijo

Mijo Cabral is a young man living his best life in New York City. He plays flute in The New York City Chamber Orchestra, and his gal-pal Terri is his rock, his bestie, and the little red-haired girl to his Charlie Brown.

Jesus Zugasti is a handsome, wealthy older man, a real estate mogul who has everything he's ever wanted. Except someone to share it with.

They meet-cute in classic, romantic Manhattan style: a dirty martini, a crowded bar, and a kiss that changes everything.

What starts as a slow-burn romance quickly becomes a passionate, forbidden love. Jesus sweeps Mijo into a world of luxury, opening his home and his heart in a way no one ever has. Mijo, a Mexican American musician from a tight-knit family, finds in Jesus the security and love he's always craved. Their differences bring them together: the age gap, the wealth gap, the worlds they come from. But something deeper, something neither of them could have ever imagined, lies waiting in a DNA testing kit Mijo took on a whim.

When the results arrive, both men are forced to confront a family secret that will test everything they've built. Can a gay romance survive a revelation that would tear most couples apart? Is love enough when the truth is unthinkable?

Mijo is a later-in-life, first-time gay romance about found family, forbidden love, and the extraordinary circumstances that can make or break two men who were always meant to find each other. Told with wit, warmth, and heart, it's a story about choosing love, even when the whole world tells you not to.
