Greenford’s favorite strip club.

If you can get past Glam on the door, that is!Dan: I like my life. Honestly, I love it. I’m an exotic dancer…okay, I’m a stripper, and sometimes I have to take over the club for the boss to make sure things run smoothly. It’s fun, it’s fulfilling, but It can’t last forever. I know I’ll have to stop at some point. I’m lost on what that means for my future, but I’m even more lost when Lucas comes into the picture. The terminally straight brother of my best friend, who shows up to help me. I was warned not to hit on him, and I wasn’t going to…honestly!Lucas: My life’s been on track for a while now. I’m a lawyer. I know what I want and the best way to get it. Maybe the loneliness gets to me sometimes, but that’s life. I’d never been to a strip club, and when I agreed to do a favor for my brother, I certainly wasn’t ready for Dan…or his flirting. He threw my life off track and made me question everything I thought I knew about myself. Well, except that I’m definitely an ass man…what the hell did they put in that free cocktail? But he’s here, and now I have to figure out what to do about it...Opposites attract in this first-time gay tale of a stripper and a lawyer. As Dan says, “This is me putting my foot on the gas but giving you control of the brakes.” Will straight lawyer Lucas put the brakes on or will he succumb to the flirtatious and sexy stripper, Dan? less

Aidan: A fresh start, far away from my old life, is exactly what I need. A new town, new people, new job, the works. Yeah, I jump at my own shadow, who wouldn’t after what I’ve been through. My ex and his fists are behind me, and believe it or not, working at Club Nocturne is exactly what I need to get back on my feet. Performing always gives me confidence, and stripping is just acting, right? The huge security guy reminds me of my ex, and at first, I can’t even look him in the eye... moreAidan: A fresh start, far away from my old life, is exactly what I need.

But my body is telling me a completely different story…I just don’t know if I can afford to listen.Axel: Everyone at Nocturne calls me Glam, but there’s nothing glamorous about me. I’ve got a pretty good life, which is saying something considering how it used to be. I’ve got a house, a great job running security at Club Nocturne, four sisters who drive me nuts, and two cats who I’m sure are trying to kill me. Then a hot new dancer shows up at the Club. I can’t decide if he’s just shy or if there’s more to his story…then I watch him dance, and I suddenly want a whole lot more. But I know I’m going to have to take it slow…Shy and scared meets a safe pair of hands in this tale of new beginnings. Can Aidan embrace his fresh start, and even more importantly, can he bring himself to embrace Axel? less

Rico: I know my life. I know what it’s like. I own Nocturne, one of the biggest clubs for miles around. I deal with the punks who work for me because even if they’re like younger siblings, they’re still punks. And I’m okay being the grumpy old man everyone thinks I am. I’m not that old but screw it, let them call me what they want.That’s been my life for years, and it is what it is. I’m happy with it. I know what to expect... moreRico: I know my life.

I know what to expect. Until Ryan came along and threw everything I thought I knew about the world on its head. I even caught him cleaning my office…Twice! Why do I need a club manager in the first place? Why does he have to be exactly my type? And how come he doesn’t think I’m a grumpy asshole?Ryan: Finding my life at a standstill, especially when I thought it was about to take off, is depressing, but I’m not going to let it drag me down that easily. Instead, I’d accepted what happened and decided to crash with my best friend and his boyfriend…who I’m pretty sure secretly hates me.Life, however, wasn’t ready to simply let me coast on by while I figured out what to do. Instead, it threw me a new job and a grumpy butthole of a boss in the form of Rico. But despite what everyone says, I can see he’s so much more than just a grumpy old man…despite the mess in his office. He cares about everyone. He’s just my type and now I think I’m falling head over heels for him.Sleeping with the boss rarely works out well. Throw in two completely opposite personalities and a twenty-year age gap, and Rico and Ryan’s growing relationship is doomed to failure…or is it? less
