Bound by Lust: A Forbidden Gay Romance of Secrets and Seduction
Ethan Caldwell has one business first.
But when Horizon Press sends him to negotiate with Julian Voss—the arrogant, magnetic author every publisher covets—business turns into a dangerous game.
Seattle’s smoky bars, spiked cocktails, whispered threats… Ethan should walk away. Instead, he finds himself blindfolded in a heated game, pressed against Julian’s lips, and dragged into a night that rewrites every line between work and desire.
“You’ll help me win, won’t you?” Julian’s whisper burned hotter than whiskey.
“Mr. Voss,” Ethan said, breathless, “this isn’t how deals are made.”
But once the contract is off the table, and the shirt buttons come undone, the only deal left is temptation.
Enemies become lovers. Forbidden turns irresistible. And Ethan must decide—can he risk everything for a man who knows exactly how to break a heart?
Perfect for fans of dark, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romances filled with tension, power games, and undeniable chemistry.

Secrets and Desires Link Two Men into Forbidden Relationships
Negotiation for a contract can be a challenge for anyone, but for Ethan, the pressures for success with the dynamic and resistant writer seemed to always be in control of his words and writing. Yet the two seemed to cooperate excessively as if the contract was not the important mission for both to lock the publishing company and writer together to benefit both with Ethan's help.
