Blurb
Andrew Whitman knew from the moment he held Kelly's hand that the man was special, and it both annoyed and terrified him. Kelly makes him feel a little out of control and Drew is a highly controlled man. He has to be to keep his sexuality a secret from his father, a conservative politician. And he is OK with that. He has a perfectly good, mutually beneficial, life plan with his best friend, Lex. A long time ago, he'd made his peace with the fact that he'd never find a man worth turning his life upside down for. Then he ends up with his capable and gorgeous assistant under him on top of his desk, and his life plans change. Drew can't seem to get out of his own way when it comes to the quiet, sexy, and surprising single dad, but he can't stop himself from falling for Kelly and his sweet baby brother. And just when it seems that Kelly has worked through his past hurts enough to let Drew into his body and his heart, manipulative family and words unspoken threaten to tear them apart. But after getting a taste of a life he never thought he could have, Drew won't let anything tear his fledgling family apart.

Excerpt
“Kelly?”
No. Fucking. Way.
It felt like the breath had been
knocked out of him. He looked up.
“Andrew? What are you doing here?”
In black-on-black, eyes blazing and
narrowed, Andrew was even more imposing than he was in the office. It didn’t
help that Kelly was practically naked.
“I should be asking you what you’re
doing here. I assume HR doesn’t know about this?”
Kelly was screwed.
“Captain Douchebag, might I presume?”
Taylor piped up.
Worst timing ever.
“Excuse me?” Andrew looked over at
Taylor.
By that point, they were drawing
attention from one of the bouncers who roamed the floor. Kelly had to defuse
the situation.
“Not now, Taylor!” The blond put his
hands up in a sign of surrender and headed to the dressing room.
Andrew maneuvered Kelly into the
low-lit deserted hallway that led to the dressing room, showers, and staff
offices, pinning him against the wall with his body. Kelly could smell Andrew’s
spicy scent, feel the contours of his body through his thin shirt. Despite his
wariness, Kelly's body reflexively leaned into Andrew who placed one hand on
Kelly’s hip and the other under his chin, tipping Kelly's face up.
“Look, Andrew. I can explain.”
“Oh, I just bet you can.” Kelly's belly
warmed with arousal at their close proximity and he had to ball his fists to
keep from placing his hands on his boss’ chest. He had to end this.
“Let’s talk. Monday.”
“No, tonight. What time are you done
here?”
The look on Andrew’s face told Kelly
there was no getting out of this. “Two.”
The two just stared at each other
before Andrew took Kelly's face in his big hands. Kelly sighed and closed his
eyes, letting his head rest against the wall and Andrew pressed even closer,
wrapping a forearm around Kelly’s waist while his other hand rubbed the back of
Kelly’s neck. God, Kelly hadn’t realized how much he needed the touch of a man.
This man. And he wanted more.
“No glasses.”
What?
“You aren’t wearing your glasses,”
Andrew answered as though he’d heard Kelly's thought.
Kelly opened his eyes taking in
Andrew’s strong jaw, the curl of his hair against his thick neck, the way his
body surrounded Kelly’s.
“I wear contacts when I dance.”
Andrew’s thumb traced Kelly’s lips and
Kelly fought not to stick out his tongue and lick the man.
“Is that what you call what you were
doing up there? Dancing? I’ll wait for you at the bar, and we can talk after.”
“No. Meet me at the Greek diner, one
avenue east, two blocks down. It’s open twenty-four seven.” His boss didn’t
like when the dancers left with customers directly from the club.
Andrew searched Kelly's face, that
thumb now grazing Kelly’s chin. Kelly held his breath.
“Fine. I’ll see you there at two
fifteen.”
Taylor returned to the hallway as
Andrew walked out, yanking Kelly into the dressing room.
“Jesus, you two are hot together! I
thought the hallway was going to combust!” Kelly could barely process his
friend’s words as he slumped into a chair, dazed. Good Lord. Now, what am I
going to do?
“So, have you fucked him yet?”
Taylor was salivating, eyes glowing,
bursting with the need for details.
“No! Jesus, Taylor! He’s my boss!”
“So?” Typical Taylor. Trample all over
social rules.
“He sure as hell didn’t touch you like
he was your boss. He touched you like he was your man.”
Kelly dipped his head to hide the tilt
of his lips.
“Holy shit, you loved it! Loved him
manhandling you in the hallway!” Taylor was gleeful.
