Alex:
Nobody knows the real me. I didn’t choose to be famous or wealthy, and I’ve seen firsthand how the media ruins lives--including mine. So I keep everything secret, controlled, and undisclosed. Especially the fact that I’m attracted to men.
And then Landon Luna breaks right through my shell. He’s a whirling tornado of flirtation, blond hair, and irresistible lips. He’s a ray of sunshine in my lonely life, and I desperately need to keep him close. But he refuses to sign my contract. And now every time his lips touch mine, it's dangerous. So why can't I stop?
With a reporter following my every move, the pressure is on. I need to keep things locked down. Need to keep myself under control. But I also need Landon--body and soul.
And no matter the danger, no matter the risk, I get what I want.
Even if it costs me everything.
Landon:
I’ve spent my whole life falling in love too fast. It’s the same story every time: I meet hot guys, I fall so deep, I give them everything… and then they run away.
But then I meet Alex Aldridge. Alex is everything I’ve daydreamed about since boyhood--wicked hot, brooding, and secretly passionate as hell. He’s an heir to a technology empire, but behind all his money, he's got an ocean of secrets. Like the fact that he's into men. And the fact that he wants me.
There's just one catch: Alex forbids me from telling a single soul that I'm seeing him. And he offers me an exorbitant sum of money to ensure my silence. The offer stings--but the thought of losing him hurts even more. Because after falling into bed with him, I've started falling in love.
I’ve never been good at secrets.
Especially ones that hurt.
But I don’t think I can let him go.
