Civil Wars

Plain-faced Toan is an American general's translator, and slim, model-handsome Minh is the general's driver. Toan spends long drives staring at Minh: he's never seen another Vietnamese guy with such a stylish haircut and chiseled face. Minh returns his interest, sometimes. Even if a refined, good-looking guy like Minh is way out of simple Toan's reach.

"I wish I could be myself."

Minh has a secret. His father kicked him out of the house when he found him with another boy. And Minh has another secret: he's a communist spy, counting down the days until the attack on Toan and the Americans. But until then, Minh can enjoy himself, can't he?

"Rock and roll and civil wars."

To the tune of Creedence Clearwater, Buffalo Springfield, and Jefferson Airplane, Minh and Toan discover the ridiculousness of war and the logic of love -- against all odds.

Civil Wars is a Vietnam War 1970s historical gay romance with sweet love, conflicted identity, a guaranteed HEA, and no violence.
