Half a World Away

Ethan Williams came to Beijing looking for a reset.

A year abroad. A teaching job. Distance from the life he left behind.

It sounded simple enough.

But nothing about China is simple.

Dropped into the electric chaos of modern Beijing, Ethan finds himself caught between overcrowded classrooms, disastrous nights out with fellow expats, and a culture that constantly pulls him outside his comfort zone. What begins as an escape slowly becomes something far more dangerous and intimate when he forms an unexpected connection with a brilliant, guarded local teacher who challenges everything he thought he understood about love, desire, and himself.

Funny, raw, erotic, and emotionally honest, Half a World Away is a vivid story about loneliness, culture shock, forbidden attraction, and the strange ways people reinvent themselves far from home.

For anyone who’s ever traveled across the world hoping to become someone new, only to discover the hardest person to escape is yourself.
