Gilded Ambition by Jason Collins

BEN:

Club employees are off-limits. But I can’t help myself.

Noah Rowe is the first thing I see as I walk through the doors of the historic Gilded Fox, and just one glance is enough to set my body on fire. The exclusive club offers power and luxury, but all I can think about is Noah.

The problem? He’s straight.

I never in a million years thought I’d find something worth giving up all my money for. But I have to stop fantasizing. I’ve just been inducted into a secretive circle I never knew existed.

The men at the club show restraint, but I can sense the tinge of sexual energy hidden behind closed doors. Still, not everything is as it seems. There are power dynamics at play within the club, and some of the other members don’t like that I’m gunning for a position of authority.

On top of that, I can’t stop thinking about Noah. I know I shouldn’t let myself fall for a guy who says he’s straight.

But judging from the way his body responds to mine, he’s not so sure.

NOAH:

So, I’m attracted to a billionaire. And did I mention he’s a guy?

One minute I’m enjoying my job as one of the few straight men working in an exclusive social club for gay men, the Gilded Fox. The next minute my ordinary life is turned upside down.

We come from two totally different worlds, and to make matters worse, employees are strictly forbidden from fraternizing with club members. I’m wrestling with feelings I’ve never felt before, but I don’t want to risk everything by breaking the rules.

But Ben Cabot won’t back down. Everyone in the club is vying for a powerful position, while I’m angling for a different position entirely: preferably whichever one gets him alone. I find myself swept up in a fantasy life where men express their attraction to other men.

I’ve always thought of myself as straight, and being surrounded by gay men all day, you’d think I’d know for sure. But Ben isn’t like the others.

He’s something dangerously different.
