Dirty Secrets Social Club by Jo Adler

One Daddy. One Boy. Two Dirty Little Secrets.
From the sidewalk, the townhouse looks like many of the other luxury buildings on the Upper East Side of Manhattan: elegant Beaux-Arts design, entrance portico with columns, four-story oriel window and a refined limestone façade.

But once members and guests step through the front door, they leave the rest of New York City behind. For some men, Dirty Secrets Social Club is a safe haven where they can explore every fantasy, fetish and forbidden desire. For others, it’s an elegant location for drinks and dinner with longtime friends and new acquaintances. Although the club’s unofficial name is a lighthearted homage to the townhouse’s original owner, it’s also a fitting acknowledgment that sex and secrets are often inseparable.

During the opening night party, Adam Coleman, a wealthy 42-year-old architect and multimillionaire, meets Nick Hardy, a 23-year-old artist working three part-time jobs to make ends meet while he finishes paintings for his first gallery show. The attraction is instant. The chemistry is undeniable. And the sex is red hot.

But Adam has a secret. Nick has doubts. And both men are still reeling from recent betrayals. After one intoxicating night, will the buried truth and bruised hearts derail their shared desire, or will they begin building a long-lasting union?
