Luke Sinclair has spent years rebuilding a life he nearly didn’t survive. A respected dermatologist, he keeps his world carefully controlled: part-time hours, familiar routines, and emotional guardrails strong enough to keep the past where it belongs. He knows exactly how fragile peace can be. What he doesn’t know is what to do with the sharp pull he feels toward men—especially men like Neil Sainsbury.
Neil owns the coolest bar in town: loud music, beautiful strangers, and absolutely no room for vulnerability. Charming, reckless, and notoriously hard to pin down, Neil has built his entire life on confidence and control. But behind the lights and flirtation, he’s harbouring a devastating secret, and if anyone finds out, he’s terrified he’ll lose everything he’s worked for.
When Neil trips off the stage during a live event and a doctor is called from the crowd, Luke accidentally discovers the truth Neil is desperate to hide.
What begins as reluctant support turns into late-night conversations, unexpected trust, and a friendship neither man saw coming. Luke understands too well what it means to live inside fear. Neil understands exactly how dangerous it is to let someone close enough to see the truth.
But falling in love means risking exposure, and both men have spent years hiding the parts of themselves they fear make them impossible to love.
Set against the glow of London nightlife, this is a contemporary MM romance about survival, vulnerability, and learning that being seen might be the bravest thing of all.

More than. Coming through the door from a day at work to find him sprawled out on my sofa is actually rather wonderful.
“Not that inactive,” I point out. Now I’ve discovered the taste of his dick, I can’t get enough. Going to bed with Neil, waking up with Neil, sharing the sofa, the shower, the kitchen, and my little back yard with Neil, is a conversation I never want to finish. Sex with him is comfort and heat, tangled together with a desire that’s deep, steady, and impossible to exhaust. My heart still feels stunned every time I think about him. That I don’t know what I’m doing half the time doesn’t matter. I’m a fast learner and trust him implicitly.
“I’ve been using the time you’ve not been here pestering me for sex to do a lot of thinking,” he continues.
No shit. He sits at my small table, watching me potter around. “Yeah[…]”
