Kieran was eighteen when his stepdad betrayed him, outing him to a mother who disowned him on the spot. Ten years later, after flunking medical school, he’s a tattooist in London’s financial district. His friends are finding love and settling down. Kieran knows that’s not his future. Men want his body, and nothing more, and believing that’s all he deserves, he is happy to serve them.
Derek owns The Back Room, London’s most notorious gay club, and carries two failed marriages and one unforgivable mistake: Kieran. When their lives collide for the first time in a decade, Derek barely recognises the sharp-tongued brat standing before him… but he likes what he sees, even if that’s all kinds of wrong.
When a handsome mobster takes a shine to Kieran, Derek’s jealousy spirals. Before he can share his growing feelings, Kieran is brutally attacked. The only place he feels safe is in Derek’s arms. Determined to protect him, Derek buries his forbidden desire, unaware that Kieran has felt the same way for years.
As Kieran recovers, they can’t ignore the pull between them, but can Derek give the young man what he needs? Or will Kieran push Derek away before he gets the chance to prove that he’s worthy of love?
