by Mike Brown

Overview

Roland Knox

Paris, 1944. As bombs echo through the City of Lights, Roland Knox moves with defiant grace, his openly gay

identity a quiet act of rebellion against a world closing in. His meticulously ordered life is shattered by

an undeniable connection with Alec, the charismatic son of a local café owner. Their passionate,

forbidden romance blossoms, a beacon of defiant joy in the darkening city.

But their visible happiness draws unwanted attention. Whispers turn to menacing glares, culminating in a

brutal, humiliating encounter that forces Roland to confront the true peril of his existence. Their once-

bold rendezvous must now become clandestine whispers, their sanctuary a hidden corner in a Paris

consumed by suspicion.

Roland Knox is the poignant prequel to Knox Affairs, exploring the tender, dangerous genesis of a love story

that dared to bloom amidst wartime Paris. Discover the quiet defiance, the escalating threats, and the

heartbreaking choices that forged an unbreakable bond, forcing two men to hide their truth as

their world prepares to tear them apart.
