Ashford Obsessions – Blue Moon

A Novel by Elias F. L. Rucker

Blue Moon is the beginning of a dark romance series about men who love each other, wound each other, try to save each other—and ultimately risk destroying one another.

It is a story about a kind of closeness that demands more than anyone is willing to give and promises more than anyone should believe. About love that reaches too deep, obsession that blurs every boundary, and the moment when affection becomes something you should turn away from—but cannot.

At the heart of the story is Eric Ashford, a young man whose heart is far too vulnerable for the brutal kind of love that has found him. Seeking distance from Jack, the man whose devotion has become too intense, Eric tries to escape a relationship that both sustained and consumed him.

But when Jack asks for one final chance, Eric says yes.

Not out of weakness.

Out of longing.

Out of an old hunger for warmth that always seems to slip through his fingers.

Together, they retreat to an isolated house in the mountains—alone, yet accompanied by everything that stands between them. As the silence of the forest deepens, Eric begins to notice the subtle shifts in Jack's behaviour: care turning into entitlement, touch becoming possession, words weaving invisible threads he can no longer untangle, and a dark secret capable of shattering everything.

And then there is Magnus.

The friend who comes too close. The man whose gaze lingers on Eric longer than it should. Whose presence feels like a promise—or a threat.

Between the three of them, an inescapable tension begins to grow: desire that asks for no permission, jealousy that spreads like a shadow, and truths that reveal themselves only when it is already far too late.

Blue Moon is a novel about a love that is both dark and real, about the violence of intimacy and the desperate hope of finding, in another man, something capable of mending your own fractures.

A story of passion, obsession, and the question of how far someone would go to avoid being alone—even when love begins to cast its shadow.
