Dominic Valentine, sexy, wealthy author. Sold thousands of copies of his last novel. To celebrate this big number, his best friend since grammar school, blindfolded him and dragged him into a gay strip club.

This magnificent beauty with hooded blue eyes, succulent full lips, and a sexy, sexy dancer, captured Dominic.

Whatever it was, he had to have him. And he’d do anything to make that boy fall for him.
