But I can’t help myself, even if he’s straight. Noah is the first thing I see as I walk through the doors of the historic Gilded Fox, and just one glance is enough to set my body on fire. The exclusive club offers power and luxury, but all I can think about is Noah. I never in a million years thought I’d find something worth giving up all my money for. But I have to stop letting my fantasies run wild. I need to focus. I’ve just been inducted into a secretive circle I never knew existed. The men at the club show restraint, but I can sense the tinge of sexual energy hidden behind closed doors. Still, not everything is as it seems. There are power dynamics at play within the club, and the other members have heard that I’m gunning for a position of authority. The problem? Some of them don’t want me to take control. On top of that, I can’t stop thinking about Noah. I don’t want to fall for a guy who says he’s straight. But judging from the way his body responds to mine, he’s not so sure. NOAH: I’ve never been with a guy, and I sure as hell have never been with a billionaire. One minute I’m enjoying my job as one of the few straight men working in an exclusive social club for gay men, the Gilded Fox. The next minute my ordinary life is turned upside down. We come from two totally different worlds, and to make matters worse, employees are strictly forbidden from fraternizing with club members. I don’t want to risk everything by breaking the rules, but I’m wrestling with feelings I’ve never felt before. But Ben won’t back down. Everyone in the club is vying for a powerful position, while I’m angling for a different position entirely: preferably whichever one gets him alone. I try to keep my feelings under control, but I find myself swept up in a fantasy life where men don’t hold back from expressing their attraction to other men. I’ve always thought of myself as straight, and being surrounded by gay men all day, you’d think I’d know for sure. But Ben isn’t like the others. He’s something dangerously different. This is the first book in Jason Collins’ debut series. Readers can expect an extra spicy MM romance. Fair warning, this book has a heat level of 100.
