Billionaire Alistair Blackwood keeps an inner circle bound to a game of power and submission: pass three tests, and he claims you can have your heart's desire.
Marcus Philips, behind on rent and skilled at becoming whoever a situation demands, cons his way into the journalism job he has always wanted, only for his editor to send him in to expose Blackwood as a predator.
Marcus means to free the men already ensnared, not to be pulled into the contest himself.
That plan falters when he meets Jake, a brilliant tech founder trapped in the same game, and feels desire for a man for the first time.
On Blackwood's private island the tests grow more intimate, every touch is watched, and Marcus must weigh the career-making story against the man he can no longer pretend he does not want.
