Fall From Grace

Winston Verlize used to have everything-money, status, influence, and a last name that opened every door in New York City. Then his parents were arrested for embezzlement, their fortune disappeared overnight, and Winston became just another forgotten kid in the foster system.

Now eighteen, survival means cutting corners. He hides from his foster parents in a crumbling apartment, pays the alcoholic across the hall to forge school paperwork, and does whatever it takes to make it through another day. The last thing he wants is to join Young Scholars, the mandatory extracurricular at his new public school. The same day, Winston lands a paid internship at one of Manhattan's most prestigious financial firms. It should be his chance to reclaim everything he lost.

There's just one problem.

His new boss is Jace Vanhosen-the man he spent the previous night with.

As Winston relentlessly pursues the guarded, off-limits Jace, the ghosts of his old life refuse to stay buried. Between addiction, dangerous temptations, newfound friendships, and an older man who wants something from him, Winston is forced to decide who he wants to become.

Because climbing back to the top may cost him the only people who've ever loved him when he had nothing.
