Ethan never thought a dating app would change his life. He downloaded HeartLink Beta out of boredom just another quiet night in his too-still apartment, hoping for distraction. Instead, the app matched him with Kael, a man who swore he was from another realm.
Kael isn’t joking. He’s a scholar from Aeryndor, a world of twin moons, whispering books, and subtle magic. To him, Ethan is proof that Earth exists, and the strange glitch linking their worlds is more than random chance. Their first messages are clumsy, their first meeting impossible, yet every exchange pulls them closer.
But the connection is fragile. Portals rip open in the wrong places, councils demand explanations, and the app itself threatens to “fix” their match. Ethan fears losing the only person who truly sees him, while Kael risks exile for choosing love that crosses worlds.
Can two men caught between realities hold on before the link that bound them unravels?

Part of the Otherworldly Hearts series, this story brings its own magical twist to love and laughter.
Otherworldly Hearts proves romance can bloom anywhere through time, across magic, even out among the stars. This clean MM romcom series pairs oddball characters with laugh-out-loud disasters and tender connections in worlds where the impossible feels almost ordinary.
Spells backfire, ghosts meddle, shifters wrestle instincts they’d rather ignore, and aliens stumble their way through the messy art of love. Each standalone story mixes comedy, warmth, and a romance that stays sweet but never boring.
Sometimes the strangest places lead to the most unexpected happily ever afters.
