Across the Living Infinite: A Queer Romance Aboard the RMS Titanic

James Thomas Morrow has been moving through life as though in a fog, struggling to find happiness ever since losing the man he loved. One day, while James is working as a footman for a wealthy family in London, he finds out that the White Star Line is in need of crew members for their newest ocean liner. Almost immediately, James secures a position as a first-class saloon steward with the hope that the exciting change might help him clear the haze of melancholy and remind him what it is to really live.

Cassian Penn Livingston is miserable, though he can’t seem to figure out why. He’s wealthy, handsome, and rather influential, and he knows it. Still, something is missing from his life. Equally as concerning, Cassian’s fiancée seems to be as miserable as he is, regardless of Cassian’s efforts to make her feel otherwise. Desperate to improve both their emotional states and their relationship, Cassian purchases them first-class tickets on what is purported to be the most illustrious ship in the world.

When James and Cassian meet aboard the RMS Titanic, they are immediately drawn to each other. Fascinated by their similarities and intrigued by their differences, they are powerless to resist their burgeoning feelings, and what starts as a friendship quickly transforms into something more. But soon, the pressure that Cassian feels to conform to the expectations that have been placed on him by New York’s high society threatens to break them apart. And when their ship strikes an iceberg, James and Cassian are forced to fight not only for their lives, but for the life they want together.

Set in 1912, Across the Living Infinite is an MM romance featuring a passionate courtship, instant connection, and the sweetest found family. It reminds us that even in the wake of life’s tragedies, love and friendship can endure.
