    [ A VERY Slow-Burn, LGBT+ Soulmates Romance ]
        Dylan Matthews never wants to meet his Soulmate. So, when the inevitable finally happens, he expects to continue his life of obscurity, alone. Instead, he gets an awkward waltz of self-reflection, resistance, and lots of sarcasm. And hugs.
        
        ~
        
        In a world with Soulmates, Dylan Matthews does not share the rose-coloured glasses everyone else does; he never wants to meet his Soulmate. Mercilessly mocked for his Glow anyway, he's content with his life of pushing people away, wishing he could be a writer, and keeping his head low at his job as a website coder.
        
        The problem: he doesn't get to decide if they meet or not, so it becomes a matter of waiting so he can outright reject them.
        
        One work trip and a blackout later, Dylan cannot escape his Soulmate no matter how far he runs; he works with them. He's ready to push them away, but can't. Something inside him, along with the dreaded Glow Feeling, wants to see this crash and burn on its own. Yet mistake after mistake, Dylan finds himself in an awkward waltz with someone just as broken as he is.
        
        Will Dylan push his Soulmate away, or will the New Soulmates heal their pasts?
