Anders
Anders lives to please. His latest boyfriend seems like the perfect match—dominant, confident, and in control. But the dream unravels when Anders realizes his boyfriend isn’t there to cherish him, only to use him. When discrepancies in the company books surface, Anders is horrified to find himself implicated. The truth hits his boyfriend has been manipulating him all along. Betrayed, blamed, and cast aside, Anders is left with nothing but a broken heart.
Emil
Emil sees what others Anders isn’t naive—he’s a man whose given his all to someone who doesn’t deserve him. The accusations against Anders don’t add up, and Emil can’t stand by while everyone else writes him off. Beneath the hurt and betrayal, Emil sees a man who craves structure, care, and unconditional love. Emil is ready to step in—not only as a reliable and fair boss, but as a Daddy who will value and protect Anders.
If Anders can trust again, Emil will ensure he never regrets it.
This is Book Three of the Almstead Newcomer's Club. The series is interconnected, but each story can be read as a standalone. This novel involves a Daddy/boy dynamic but no age play. Please know that this story has instances of emotional manipulation, though not between the main characters. There is a HEA for this couple and no cliffhanger, but some character redemptions will take longer than others.
