My Boyfriend Is a Homicidal Homosexual With a Sense of Humor

Kieran Collins learned something important when he was nine years old:

Antonio Panzarillo was not like other boys.

Antonio was bigger. Quieter. Stronger. And when someone hurt Kieran, Antonio had a remarkably simple approach to conflict resolution.

He hurt them back.

Usually worse.

What begins on the streets of the Bronx as an unlikely childhood friendship between a skinny, redheaded Irish kid and the enormous Italian boy who appoints himself his protector grows into something neither of them fully understands until they're old enough to give it a name.

Love.

Unfortunately, loving Antonio comes with complications.

The Panzarillos are loud, fiercely loyal, occasionally terrifying, and have long since decided Kieran belongs to them. Sofia feeds him. Sal treats him like another son. Antonio's brothers torment him like family. And somewhere along the way, Kieran stops being the neighborhood kid who comes over for dinner and becomes something far more permanent.

Then there's Antonio himself.

To Kieran, he's the boy who walked on the traffic side of the sidewalk to keep him away from cars. The man who knows when he's frightened before he says a word. The person who has loved him almost as long as either of them can remember.

To everyone else?

Antonio Panzarillo is a very different man.

As childhood becomes adulthood and friendship becomes marriage, Kieran discovers that being loved by a man capable of extraordinary violence has its advantages—particularly when dangerous people make the catastrophic mistake of assuming the smaller, sarcastic redhead sitting beside him is the harmless one.

Because Kieran has learned a few things from Antonio over the years.

And eventually, somebody threatens the wrong husband.

Set against the streets of the Bronx and driven by family, loyalty, romance, crime, and unapologetically dark humor, MY BOYFRIEND IS A HOMICIDAL HOMOSEXUAL WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR is the story of two boys who grow up together, fall in love, build a life, and discover that "for better or worse" can cover an astonishing amount of territory.

Especially when your husband has a body count.
