When a struggling writer finds his muse in the form of a high-paid, mysterious escort, madness soon follows...
Michael D'Agostino, a bestselling mystery author, is suffering from writer’s block when he meets Arden Evans, a beguiling male escort and catalog model who is attempting to write a memoir of his own.
Captivated by the young man, Michael finds Arden to be refreshingly honest and authentic. When Arden asks that they “keep it simple” with a no-strings-attached relationship, Michael readily agrees. Their arrangement becomes increasingly complicated, however, as Michael begins to want more from his enchanting lover.
And then there is the matter of Arden’s finances. The young man is drowning in debt, but is so fiercely private and prideful that he refuses to discuss it. This same debt is what obligates Arden to his wealthy benefactor, much to Michael’s suspicion and vexation.
Arden isn’t used to being loved and cared for, doesn’t understand that emotional intimacy isn’t just an obligation for Michael, but a deep desire. Michael wants their love affair to last, but how do you hold onto a man whose gaze is forever fixed on the horizon?
A MADNESS MOST DISCREET is a contemporary M/M romance centered around class differences and set in New York City. Both characters live a fairly libertine lifestyle that involves sharing and exhibitionism. There is no cheating in the traditional sense, but Arden is sex worker throughout. Trigger warning for sexual assault. The story ends with an HEA.
Genre: Gay Romance
