A billionaire with dark secrets + a beautiful man repaying a debt
Bello Gonzalez has nothing going for him in his small town, except a cycle of bad relationships and terrible jobs. After a series of odd circumstances, he finds himself in a new city, living with a beautiful and mysterious stranger.
Marcus Johnson didn’t want Bello in his house - that is, until he laid eyes on the most beautiful person he had ever seen. There was an instant connection, even though Marcus had never been in a relationship, even though his parents definitely wouldn’t approve of a gay one.
When Marcus’ offers Bello a job working for his company, he learns that Bello isn’t just beautiful, he’s also smart, witty, and has an amazing smile. He doesn’t just enjoy Bello’s company, he craves it.
But between Marcus’ disapproving parents, his own dark desires, and Bello’s reluctance to jump into another relationship, is a connection between them even possible?
Will Bello run for the hills once Marcus fully opens up to him?

I have to give this up as a "Did not finish" and I really hate having to do that. Unfortunately the preface does not make clear that this is a re-telling of Beauty and the Beast, the gay way and it just didn't work. Really odd choices of adverbs and adjectives, strange plot twists and BDSM as an explanation for Beast. Knife play??? It's a generous 1.5 for me regrettably.
