​​​​​​​Lies, blackmail and forbidden desire.

William's task is clear: catch the blackmailer. William Richmond is an earl, a father, a country gentleman… and a former spy. Catching the blackmailer should be simple, but when William finds a beautiful, injured young man on the beach, unfamiliar desires surge. He is determined to focus on the task and resist temptation—resist Daniel, or his carefully constructed illusions will crumble, exposing his lies to the world… and himself.
Daniel's question is simple: Should he trust William? Daniel has secrets: his identity, his past, how and why he washed up on the shore… and more. With revelations of espionage, blackmail, and the arrival of William's colleagues, the danger of exposure grows. Daniel's instincts tell him that William is a decent man, a man of honor, but his instincts have been wrong before. As the attraction grows, so does Daniel's desire to confess, but if he's wrong, he risks everything—his secrets, his freedom, and his heart.

About the author

CM Corett

CM Corett is lucky enough to have two careers she loves—cartography and writing. She has lived in the USA and traveled the world gathering inspiration for her stories, but the beautiful beaches of Western Australia will always be her home. She is an avid reader and writer of love between men, and also loves movies, superheroes, and video games with awesome graphics. She hates housework and anyone who expects her to notice (or care about) the dust on top of the fridge. CM does not limit herself to one sub-genre. She writes contemporary, historical, sci-fi, and time travel... and she may have a few paranormal ideas awaiting her attention.
