Arkenstone

In the shadowy heart of Tampa’s Ybor City, freshly discharged Army intel analyst Sebastien Levesque arrives at Arkenstone Labs expecting a normal tech job and instead stumbles into something far stranger. The company is secretive, socially dysfunctional, and populated with an cast of brilliant weirdos who seem more like cult prisoners than co-workers. As Seb struggles to decipher what Arkenstone actually does, he finds himself drawn into a circle of misfit engineers who all have the growing suspicion that the company may be hiding something far bigger than any of them understand.

But amid the absurdity and unease, Seb also finds Will Powers: brilliant, charming, crazy attractive, and almost as lost as he is. What begins as awkward flirting at trivia night and apartment hunting quickly deepens into an intense connection neither man expected. Balancing sharp humor, workplace mystery, and a tender romance, Arkenstone is a witty, low-drama story about a life that is transformed over the course of a week by the right guy.
