    About this series

    For decades, Brendan Lau has swept the Hollywood scene as an openly gay actor starring in romantic films-but now, at fifty-one, he's losing out on roles to younger actors. And when he's passed over as the hero in a period film and instead cast as the father, it's less his reputation and more his pride that can't take the insult. But when he confronts the younger actor who stole his part, he walks in on Cillian Tell struggling to fend off the director's unwanted advances.

    For twenty-nine-year-old Cillian, Brendan is the reason he fell in love with acting. But the real Brendan is nothing like his debonair heroes or the charming image he presents on the red carpet; he's arrogant, domineering, grumpy, and entirely set in his obstinate ways.

    Cillian can't lose his first role in a major feature film. Brendan can't stand the idea of working with a sleazy director. Yet when Cillian begs him to silence, Brendan agrees to keep his secrets. But somehow Brendan's role as Cillian's guardian turns into something else.

    But what happens when Cillian starts to fall for the heart beneath the grouch?

    And what happens when Brendan discovers Cillian's royal lineage?

    Contains mature themes.

      Ash Harrington's life is out of control. At twenty-three years old, he's suddenly the head of a multibillion dollar global corporation he is in no way equipped to run. His father is dying. His mother's run away. He's spent his entire adult life playing fast and loose with his life and his loves, but when he's dragged into a position of responsibility with the fate of the company on his shoulders, he goes spinning into freefall. And Brand Forsythe is the only man to catch him. Icy, detached, nearly twice Ash's age, the massive monolith of a British valet is impossible to deal with and like no servant Ash has ever met. Domineering and controlling, Brand quickly puts Ash's life in order. And quickly takes Ash in hand. Even if by day Ash has to project authority, leadership, and calm . . . by night he's discovering the breathless pleasure of giving up control. The shivering thrill of surrendering to Brand. The sweet taboo of being submissive to the man in even the smallest things. Ash can't quite understand why it feels so good to put himself in Brand Forsythe's capable, commanding hands. He only knows, as he faces the hardest decisions of his life . . . the only thing that can save him is the love of his cocky valet. Contains mature themes.

      One night. One contract. One kiss, and Victor Newcomb will never be the same. By age 24, Vic has accomplished more than most men achieve in a lifetime. Since childhood he's tried to be the perfect son, the perfect executive, the perfect heir-and as next in line for the throne of his father's multibillion dollar textile empire, he's made his life entirely about discipline and control. But he doesn't know what discipline truly means-until he meets Amani Idrissi. University student. Part-time masseuse. Cello virtuoso. The serene, reserved Moroccan American femme fascinates Vic with his cool allure, changing everything Vic thought he knew about power, about control, about his own sexuality. Yet when cello lessons turn into a business deal of an entirely different nature, Vic quickly realizes he'll pay anything for the chance to see Amani again. To submit to his touch. To discover the complete and utter freedom in giving up control. But the deeper Vic falls headlong into love, the more he realizes he doesn't know Amani at all. Secretive, withdrawn, Amani seems determined to keep their relationship strictly business. Contains mature themes.

      A Cowboy Makes a Comeback in The Hero

      Jun 10, 2017

      WHAT’S IT LIKE TO FALL IN LOVE EVEN AS YOU’RE falling apart? In The Hero, Sam Elliott plays Lee Hayden, an aging, mostly out-of-work actor—the cowboy roles in which he used to specialize have all but disappeared. Lee is sanguine enough about the scarcity of acting jobs. But no one wants a cancer diagnosis, and when Lee gets that particular bit of bad news, he heads out to see his pot dealer (Nick Offerman) to indulge in a little self-medication. There he meets another customer, a firecracker more than 30 years his junior, Charlotte (Laura Prepon). The two begin a playful yet often prickly love
