Luc and Alec are my best friends, and they're hopelessly in love. With each other. But after a drunken threesome two years ago made me realize I was in love with them both, I moved out, got engaged, and toured the country with a Broadway troupe so Luc and Alec could chase their happily ever after without me in the way. Now just one day after returning to Brooklyn - unemployed, single, and avoiding a stalker ex-fiancé - Luc drops a bombshell: He and Alec aren't gay, their bisexual. And Poly. They're both in love with me and want to commit to a relationship. The three of us. What the hell do I do now? The right thing... I turn them down. Again. But Luc and Alec don't take my rejection well, and they scheme to prove to me that this thing can really work. Two weeks later, an invitation arrives - to The Three of Hearts V-Day Masquerade Ball at Scandal, an elusive private club in the Hampton's - offering me the possibility of accepting Luc and Alec's love in a polyamorous world I never knew existed. Am I Poly? Can both Luc and Alec really share me? Can I even share two men? After denying my feelings for so long, so much is riding on one night - one night to prove to my fragile heart that just maybe, I can finally accept Luc and Alec's love in a world that won't likely ever accept us.

"Love like ours is worth fighting for—even if it hurts.” ~Luc GrimaldiIt’s been a year since my best friend became our girlfriend, and we started building a life together. Now our triad is the envy of Scandal, and we have everything we’ve ever dreamed of. Only I’m a selfish bastard, and I want more. One year isn’t enough with Merlot and Alec. I want forever. If we want to build a future, we all need to stop running from our pasts.My painful addiction and the part that Alec plays nearly cost me my best friend more times than I can count. But how can I expect her to accept that part of me if I can’t accept it myself? And Merlot and Alec have ghosts of their own that neither is ready to face, so while the last year has made us stronger, nothing is indestructible.One wrong move could send Merlot running and everything could fall apart. So how do we get to forever if we can’t survive today?I may not have the answers, but I’m damn well going to find them because love like ours is worth fighting for. Even if it hurts. ATRIGGER This series contains hot & dirty sex, occasional BDSM scenes and bad language, but there are also many sensitive themes such as backstories of trauma and abuse that some readers may find uncomfortable or inappropriate (for more detail, please see post about triggers on our website). If darker themes is not your thing, this may not be the series for you. But if you enjoy bittersweet romance with beautifully broken hero/ines who love fiercely, enjoy sex, and are looking for redemption, then maybe it is.

"Merlot and Luc's love consumes me in a way I never knew possible. But that love and my new life both come with a price - a price I'm willing to pay, because nothing worth saving ever comes without sacrifice." ~Alec WestNot many people get the chance at a fresh start, to reinvent themselves. To live a different life. I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the privileges of being protected from my mafia father by the most powerful woman in New York, because it’s that privilege that brought me to them. Merlot and Luc are everything to me. Their love, my love for them—it consumes me in a way I never knew possible. But their love and my new life, I’ve found, both came with a price. Since becoming Alec West, all I’ve wanted is to build a life with them. To give Merlot and Luc everything. And for almost a year, I did. Our poly life was perfect—until a ghost from my past collides with my future, nearly destroying everything I’ve worked so hard to build. Twenty years ago, I couldn’t protect my mother. That’s one mistake I won’t make twice. When Merlot and Luc’s pasts start threatening them, I vow to do whatever it takes to keep them safe. Even if it means resurrecting a man my mother died to protect me from. When Luc asked us for forever, Merlot said fairytales really do have happy endings. But as I’m starting to realize, nothing worth saving comes without sacrifice. I just hope sacrificing the man I’ve become doesn’t destroy the same people I’ve fought so hard to save.Content/TRIGGER This series contains hot & dirty sex, occasional BDSM scenes and bad language, but there are also many sensitive themes such as backstories of trauma and abuse that some readers may find uncomfortable or inappropriate (specific triggers coming soon in the triggers link on our website).
