Cameron Fairway has a secret. Before he shares it with the world, he’s determined to build the confidence he wants to live life as a gay man and the experience he’ll need to snag Mr. Right. For that, he requires a mentor—someone experienced. Someone with manners. Someone discreet enough to be able to mix business with pleasure under the watchful eye of his father’s empire—a gentleman. Pete Carver is without a doubt that man. Pete Carver has a problem. Pete doesn’t mix business with pleasure because there is no pleasure in business. There’s only order and discipline if you want to succeed. When the boss’ youngest son approaches him with a proposition that rattles every one of his sensibilities, Pete is determined to get to the bottom of the ploy. Because that’s all it can possibly be—why else would the ruthless John Fairway’s son proposition a straight man in his father’s company? The apple can’t fall far from the tree. **awakening, workplace, mistaken identity, obsessive compulsive disorder, touch starved, praise, possessive, homophobic/racist father, family rejection, slow burn, hurt/comfort
