This is the second book in the Russian Roulette series. It can be read independently, though it will make a lot more sense if you've read Russian Roulette: Family secrets first.
It's a grumpy x sunshine - friends to lovers story about overcoming trauma, body positivity, and sexual acceptance with an ND lead.
Please read the introduction chapter before venturing into reading this book!

On the day of their wedding, Jace and Phoenix look back on everything leading up to the day when they finally say 'I do'.
In flashbacks, they remember over a decade of events in their lives that shaped their love for each other. Events that took them from colleagues to lovers, and formed them into men ready for a life together.
The friendship.
The parties.
The steamy nights.
The misunderstandings and insecurities.
The heartaches.
The longing.
The demons from their pasts, threatening to tear them apart.
A story of friendship, brotherhood, and love.

[COMPLETED]
Everyone wants what Pembroke has, good looks, fortune, and fame. But Pembroke feels like he's missing out on something; he has a hard time finding it in the bottom of a bottle or the pills he pops on a nightly basis.
When Pembroke's management team catches wind that there are compromising pictures of him and he's being blackmailed by none other than his family, they start the process for a major image clean-up.
As much as Pembroke loathes his management team for forcing him into a facility, he never would have imagined that what he was missing would be found at The Centre; in the hearts of eleven men.
