I've spent two years defending true love against the internet's biggest cynic.

For two years, I've been moderating QueerWaystoFallinLove, a forum where people share their romantic meet-cutes. And for two years, TruthGuardian has been the thorn in my optimistic side—debunking every sweet story with spreadsheets, statistics, and enough cynicism to drain the romance from a Nicholas Sparks marathon.

He calculates the exact cost of hoarded grocery items. He fact-checks power outages at Trader Joe's. He thinks love at first sight is just “compatible pheromone profiles.” We've turned arguing into an art form, and I know more about this stranger than some of my real-life friends.

But when a cute guy approaches me in a coffee shop, I'm about to learn that sometimes the most improbable love stories are the ones we're already living.

And that TruthGuardian might be wrong about one fate.

Moderating Love is an 18,000-word grumpy/sunshine MM romance about falling for your worst enemy, one snarky message at a time.
