Actors Ethan Grey and Alex Haynes are gay, but in Hollywood, they can’t be open unless they’re willing to be typecast in future movies or they’re dating prominent gay producers. Since neither are willing to become stereotypes, and neither have studio boyfriends, they take another path -- hiding their relationship under the cover of a pretend girlfriend. What works for Ethan, though, doesn’t work for Alex, who screws up to the point of losing his job and the chance to get another. His manager finally finds him another job across the pond, where he meets Nathan Wells. Nathan can be the prominent producer Alex needs to further his career, but there’s something Alex doesn’t know about the man. Soon Wells grows obsessed with Alex, and he’ll do anything to keep Alex from getting away. Though Nathan wants Alex for himself, there’s still Ethan to think about. Is the love story between Alex and Ethan really over? Or will Ethan find a way to get his boyfriend back?

Slippery Slope

“I’m going to the US too!” Nathan bounced, caught Alex by the waist, and swung him like a lifeless doll.


“Wait—what?” Alex was out of breath. “Put me down, Nathan, put me down.”


With a grin on his flushed face, Nathan planted Alex back down.


“Good dog.” Alex grinned, too. “Now care to tell me what you mean by that? Because I’m definitely not asking you to stay in my parents’ house, though of course you can come for Thanksgiving dinner.”


Alex knew it might sound harsh. But in a lightened-up atmosphere like this, he dared to take his chances. Nathan smiled.


“I won’t make your life difficult, Sasha. In fact, it’s you who will most likely be thankful for me.”


That actually didn’t sit well in Alex’s stomach. His eyes narrowed to slits.


Nathan didn’t give him a direct answer.


“Tell me, Alex. Has your cute manager called you with any news about your next job?”
