At fifteen, JT Pierce was the star of a hit TV show and had the world in his hands. Every teeny-bopper magazine had his face on it; every teenage girl had his poster on her wall. But then the show went on hiatus, and JT wouldn’t lower himself to bit parts or commercials. Slowly, his star faded from view.<br><br>Seven years later, JT is Johnny Thomas, who hopes to jumpstart his career by hiring his former manager, Lou Merrin. He wants to do serious movies, a huge blockbuster or two, and claim one of those coveted Oscars for himself. But Lou cautions Johnny about the paparazzi, who can make or break a star these days, and he’s heard rumors of Johnny’s sexuality that might prevent him from landing those coveted leading roles.<br><br>Still, Johnny’s nothing if not persistent, and he swears he’ll play it straight. Until he meets Brett, a photographer who turns his life -- and his heart -- upside down. Suddenly the celebrity gossip website Z-23 seems to have exclusive pictures of Johnny, and someone close to him leaks information about an audition that was supposed to be kept quiet. When photographs surface that Johnny thought were taken in confidence, he realizes he must choose between the career path Lou offers him and the love he wants to share with Brett.

Beautiful Liar

He opens one eye and can see the camera in the corner of his vision. It’s raised and pointing at them again, at him.Brett’s half-turned from their kiss to watch as he fires off another shot, and a third. “Brett,” Johnny growls. “Put it away already, will you?” 


One final snap, and the camera falls to the bed. Brett takes control of the moment, pushing Johnny back to lay him down across the mattress. Their kisses turn heated, their breath comes fast and hot, and they pause only to retrieve a lubricated condom from the table next to Brett’s side of the bed. On his back, Johnny spreads his legs wide, his feet on Brett’s knees, as his lover rolls the condom onto his thick erection. Then Brett crawls over him, his dick poking between Johnny’s ass cheeks, and his ardent kisses distract Johnny from the slow burn that spirals through his groin as Brett eases into him. They find a steady rhythm that knocks the headboard against the wall and makes them both moan with delight.
