About Nicola Haken
Nicola lives in Rochdale, England with her husband and four children. She is the author of multi-genre romance, including the Amazon international bestseller, Broken. When she is not busy playing with her imaginary friends (or talking about them with real life friends) she can usually be found carrying out her ordinary mum/housewife/all-round-slave duties, bingeing on boxsets, drinking too much Pepsi Max, or fussing over her menagerie of pets. Oh, and if the kids ever ask, she moonlights as the Pink Power Ranger while they're sleeping...

And then he comes along. Mason George – Back Door Studio’s newest exclusive model and the guy who has the potential to either mess it all up, or take me on the best ride of my life.

I’m desperate. I’ve got nothing and nobody left. Entering the daunting world of adult entertainment is less of a dream and more of a necessity. Signing as Back Door Studio’s latest model has the ability to either ruin or make me, but I made a vow at my first audition never to let myself regret it.
I continue to question myself each day, but no amount of whats, whys or what ifs will change where I am or where I’m heading. Am I strong enough to do this? To embrace it? To enjoy it? I have no idea.
The only thing I’m certain of, is that if anyone can teach me who I’m supposed to be, it’s Ryder Richardson.

L’ho fatto. Ho mandato a quel paese i miei genitori, mi sono fatto un nome come una delle più importanti pornostar mondiali e mi sono finalmente trovato una famiglia a cui sento di appartenere.
La vita è meravigliosa. Mi pagano per fare quello che preferisco.
E poi arriva lui: Mason George, il modello più recente ed esclusivo dei Back Door Studios, nonché colui che potrebbe mandare tutto all’aria oppure rivelarsi la cosa migliore della mia vita.
Mason
Sono disperato. Non mi sono rimasti nulla e nessuno. Entrare nello spaventoso mondo dell’intrattenimento per adulti è più una necessità che un sogno che si realizza. Firmare un contratto con i Back Door Studios potrebbe rovinarmi la vita oppure farmi diventare una stella; in ogni caso, quando ho sostenuto il primo provino mi sono ripromesso di non rimpiangerlo mai.
Continuo a mettermi in discussione ogni singolo giorno, ma nessun dubbio, nessuna ipotesi, nessuna incertezza avrebbe cambiato il mio percorso e il mio obiettivo. Sono abbastanza forte per riuscirci? Per accettarlo? Per godermelo? Non ne ho idea.
L’unica cosa di cui sono certo è che, se esiste qualcuno che può insegnarmi come fare, quello è Ryder Richardson.
Tuttavia, non ha nulla.
Essere una delle più ricercate rock star del mondo è sfiancante, opprimente e solitario. Sawyer trascorre ogni singolo giorno cercando di essere come vogliono gli altri, come il suo manager gli dice di essere, come sua madre si aspetta che sia… il tutto mentre lotta contro chi è davvero. La verità è che ci è abituato; ormai è diventato piuttosto bravo a mentire… a vivere una bugia.
Fino a quando Jake Reed, il suo ex migliore amico, nonché l’unica persona che gli abbia mai fatto provare qualcosa, torna nella sua vita come nuovo capo della security della band. Jake vuole Sawyer, l’ha sempre desiderato e sarà così per sempre. Adesso deve soltanto far ammettere a Sawyer che anche lui prova le stesse cose.
«Sarai mio, Sawyer Knight. Più cercherai di correre veloce, più in fretta cadrai in ginocchio. A quel punto, Sawyer… a quel punto sarai troppo debole per resistere.»
Finché non conosce James Holden, amministratore delegato della Holden House.
James Holden non riesce a smettere di pensare all’incontro della settimana precedente con un ragazzo timido, nel bagno di un club, e non appena scopre che l’uomo che tormenta i suoi sogni è uno dei suoi impiegati, non può evitare di rincorrerlo.
Solo per divertirsi… è questo che James ripete a se stesso. Non può affezionarsi a qualcuno che non potrà mai ricambiare i suoi sentimenti, perlomeno non quando avrà scoperto il suo segreto. James crede che nessuno meriti il fardello di essere legato a lui. È un uomo complicato. Danneggiato. Difficile. Problematico.
Spezzato.
Theodore sarà abbastanza forte da affrontare i demoni di James? Domanda ancora più importante… lo sarà James?
Wrong.
