One perfect lie. One dangerous billionaire. Three tests to win your heart's desire.
Marcus Philips is a gifted impostor with overdue rent and a talent for lying his way through life. When he cons his way into his dream journalism job, his editor hands him a career-making assignment: infiltrate billionaire Alistair Blackwood’s inner circle.
Blackwood runs a twisted game of power and submission: pass three tests and win your heart’s desire. Marcus knows better than to trust a promise like that. He’s there to expose a predator and free the men Blackwood has ensnared, not to question why he’s so drawn to one of them.
He doesn’t expect Jake, a brilliant tech founder as compromised as he is irresistible. When Blackwood pulls them onto his private island, the game turns hotter, darker, and far more personal than Marcus can fake his way through. With the final test looming, he must choose between the story he’s worked for and the man he can’t stop wanting.
The Inner Circle is a standalone high-spice, dark M/M romantic thriller about a man built on lies, a dangerous game, and desires too consuming to stay buried.
