When Alfie is faced with a choice between losing his left hand or working for a notorious nightclub, the decision is easy. Drowning in debt after being disowned by his wealthy parents, Alfie McKellar finds himself trapped, with his only shot at financial freedom resting in the hands of the powerful man who now holds his fate.
Nikolai Komarov inspires fear from his homeland to the streets of New York City. He's seized control of the city's nightlife, running Pallieria, the most exclusive club, and keeping the city's elite firmly under his thumb. With his sights set on power alone, Nikolai doesn't expect his focus to waver-until he meets Alfie, a doe-eyed beauty whose presence stirs the deepest, darkest parts of himself he's fought to keep hidden.
And what Nikolai desires, he always takes. But being the boss's favorite brings its own dangers. As Alfie struggles to survive the dangerous world that is Nikolai's, he becomes desperate to secure his position. What he doesn't anticipate, however, is discovering the man beneath the ruthless facade.
Nikolai doesn't believe in commitment, love, or anything that could lead to pain. But despite knowing the risks, Alfie can't help but fall for the illusion-even if it means getting burned in the process.

But, he isn't alone for long as a towering, rather intimidating and...handsome man happens upon him at the lowest point in his life. However, this man doesn't look upon him with judgment in his eyes. There is a sort of unspoken sympathy, and it shows itself well enough when he is swept off his feet and taken to the man's home. Untouched, unjudged and given a place to stay, this young lord will come to find he's been given a second chance. But he's afraid. Of what? (This story is based on a character introduced in 'The Beauty of Coincidence'. You don't need to read that one, but a piece of useful information would be that Edgar works for someone named Norman Ramsey, a man who has accepted that his own son is gay (he is not homophobic even though it's the 1820s, and Edgar is extremely loyal to the name of Ramsey). Enjoy!)Complete
