Archie's posh parents want him to meet a nice girl--how can he tell them he's fallen for a bad boy instead?

Closeted, innocent and lonely, Archie Arandale longs for someone special in his life. A Christmas party organised by his wealth management company is the last place he expects to meet the man of his dreams.

With his leather jacket, tattoos, and piercings, Cal Turner turns heads the moment he walks through the door. He definitely isn't looking for a boyfriend, but Archie's hesitant charm captures his attention, and sneaking off during the party to have a little fun can only make a dull evening more interesting.

After their reckless and thrilling encounter, Archie is keen for more experience and Cal is happy to oblige. The need for secrecy means this can only be a casual fling, yet as they spend time together in the run up to Christmas, their feelings become more intense than either of them had bargained for. How can Archie find the courage to tell his family about Cal, when Cal's the exact opposite of the 'nice girl' they've been hoping for?

Contains: A closeted virgin, a tattooed biker, class differences, a dramatic coming out, a very inappropriate Christmas gift, and a happy ending (of course).

Jay lives just outside Bristol in the West of England. He comes from a family of writers, but always used to believe that the gene for fiction writing had passed him by. He spent years only ever writing emails, articles, or website content.

One day, Jay decided to try and write a short story—just to see if he could—and found it rather addictive. He hasn’t stopped writing since.

Jay writes contemporary romance about men who fall in love with other men. He self-publishes under the imprint Jaybird Press.

Ah, the life of the rich and famous. People waiting on you hand and foot. People willing to do whatever you want, in or out of bed. Busy, busy, busy. Tons of friends to keep you from getting lonely. A life everybody want to live right?

Wrong. At least that's how Archie Arandale feels.

Archie is a character who leads the life many of us would envy. We only see the upside, however. Through Archie, we are shown there is a downside to this lifestyle. There is loneliness. There is the desire to be treated for who you are, not your money, fame, glamour, whatever.

Through Cal we see that a person can be rich and not bow down to societal stereotypes. In fact, it's hard so see Cal as a millionaire. He is who he chooses to be, and who he chooses to be is a person just like everyone else.

Two men who are rich. To men who are polar opposites. Well, opposites attract, right.

Archie and Cal are brilliantly written characters, and the supporting characters are great. The story is an easy read, one in which you can easily immerse yourself, maybe a few chapters at a time or the entire story in one sitting.

I highly recommend this 5-star book.
