Paris Demands by Canadian columnist turned novelist Mike Miksche is his contemporary LGBT literary/men's fiction novel based around one man's journey of self-discovery via a stay in France to figure out the meaning of life, the universe, and everything after a breakup with a friend (NB: though there are apparently there are random sex scenes as well some sort of seeking for love in a new relationship with a local man, this is an existentialist literary novel, not an erotic one, much less an actual m/m romance, according to the customer reviews), free courtesy of LGBT specialty publisher Lethe Press (Wikipedia).

Currently free (and DRM-free) @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere that Amazon sells, since this is being done via their exclusive-or-else KDP Select program).

Description
Roger, a young man, finds himself more-than-a-tourist but less than a Parisian in the City of Lights. Escaping a relationship with a friend that was never as platonic as his own parents believed, Roger discovers the nights and men of Paris to be affairs complicated by drugs, ex-patriots, and trysts. His awkward relationship with Marcel, a laconic native as addicting as the coke he sells, threatens to smother Roger.

Life could be a trap of simply rolling out of bed, seeing a face as tangled as the linens, wiping the blow from your upper lip, readying yourself for another night in the bars and clubs of Paris. Does a city that prides itself on fostering love ever truly inspire it?
