Their passionate weekend blurs the line between lust and love. When it is revealed Daniel\u2019s best friend is Josh\u2019s secret father, he must choose between financial security and the chance for a future with the man of his dreams. Will this forbidden love conquer the odds?\u00a0<\/p>\n Full blurb<\/strong><\/p>\n In the City of London, Josh works tirelessly to provide financial security for his younger sister, following the tragic deaths of his parents. He longs for a connection with his birth father who doesn\u2019t want Josh to wreck his perfect life. Mature beyond his years, Josh craves the love and stability of an older man to anchor him.<\/p>\n Daniel, a wildly successful lawyer, works hard and plays even harder. His heart is closed to love after the betrayal of his ex-husband, until he meets Josh, twenty years his junior, and the executive assistant of one of his clients. Their chemistry ignites during a passionate weekend, initially driven by lust, awakening feelings Daniel never thought he\u2019d experience again.<\/p>\n But fate has a cruel twist in store: Daniel\u2019s best friend is also Josh\u2019s birth father, making their love utterly forbidden. With a tempting offer on the table from his father to walk away, will Josh choose financial security or take a chance on love? And can Daniel convince Josh that the only choice he needs to make is to follow his heart?<\/p>\n Excerpt\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The warmth of the coffee shop was a welcome relief from the biting cold of January. The UK weather was always unpredictable, but it was guaranteed January and February would be ball-freezing cold.<\/p>\n \u201cGood morning, Daniel,\u201d said Jakub, the owner.<\/p>\n Daniel had moved to Hampstead three years ago after selling the marital home and finalising his divorce. He\u2019d been coming to this independent coffee shop ever since. Jakub knew him well, and he raised a questioning brow when Josh was looking the other way. All Daniel could do was smile and act like it was nothing. The fact was, in all the time he\u2019d lived in this area, he\u2019d never brought another man to his favourite little coffee haunt.<\/p>\n \u201cMorning, Jakub. My usual please. Josh, what would you like?\u201d<\/p>\n Josh was in his own world, looking at the eclectic d\u00e9cor of the coffee shop. If you knew Jakub, it was very him \u2013 chaotic yet calm. A mishmash of different chairs and tables packed in, with nothing matching. Calm pastel colours on the walls, with a variety of art from local queer talent.<\/p>\n \u201cJosh.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel put his hand on Josh\u2019s shoulder, causing him to startle a little. He turned and smiled, looking a bit embarrassed. Daniel loved how much he blushed, because it made him look even more adorably cute.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWhat would you like to drink?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOh, erm\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Josh looked up at the menu board, looking uncertain about what to choose. Jakub had a great place here, but the choices were limited to the staples. Daniel was getting irritated \u2013 not at Josh\u2019s indecisiveness, but at what had happened to the assertive, needy boy who\u2019d begged for his cock earlier.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t go wrong with one of my cappuccinos,\u201d said Jakub, picking up on the awkwardness.<\/p>\n Josh let out an audible sigh of relief and nodded at Jakub. He shot a \u201cwhat the fuck\u201d look at Daniel as he steered Josh to a table. The coffee shop wasn\u2019t too busy; it was past the lunch rush. After their breakfast, and morning fuck, they\u2019d had another nap before showering together. Then he\u2019d dropped to his knees and sucked another load out of Josh. Oh, to be twenty-five again.<\/p>\n \u201cAre you okay, Josh?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYeah. Why?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTell me if I\u2019m overstepping here, but you seemed overwhelmed when you were ordering your coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOh, that\u2019s just how I am.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m indecisive when there are lots of choices. That\u2019s why I love my job with Oscar. He\u2019s very clear in what he wants. No room for ambiguity. Life\u2019s easier that way, don\u2019t you think?\u201d<\/p>\n It was hard to argue with his logic, but life just wasn\u2019t like that. It was constant ambiguousness and second-guessing. Intuition was essential for survival, and he wasn\u2019t sure if Josh went with his gut very often.<\/p>\n \u201cIs there anything you\u2019ve got going on now that you\u2019re struggling to decide about? Maybe I can help, as a neutral observer,\u201d he smiled.<\/p>\n \u201cSpoken like a true lawyer.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel chuckled. He wasn\u2019t wrong there, but what he really wanted was for Josh to open up to him and share what was bothering him, because something was.<\/p>\n \u201cI guess\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. well\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. please don\u2019t take this the wrong way\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u201d<\/p>\n About the Author\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Oliver Takely is a passionate MM romance author who revels in dark, edgy stories featuring complex, flawed characters.
