A Dance of Shadows
(2025)(A book in the Private Encounters: Bought for Pleasure Story series)
A novel by Ryan Moore
When control is all you’ve ever known, surrender becomes the most dangerous dance of all.
Elliot Shaw has built his life on discipline—his art gallery, his relationships, even his emotions are perfectly curated. But at an elite charity gala, his ordered world shatters when he meets Javier Cruz, a magnetic dancer whose every movement tempts Elliot toward chaos, risk, and forbidden desire.
What begins as a one-night arrangement turns into something far more intimate. Passion deepens into vulnerability. Secrets rise from the dark. And as the shadows of their pasts threaten everything they’ve built, Elliot and Javier must choose: hide behind their walls, or take the ultimate leap into love.
A Dance of Shadows is a deeply emotional MM billionaire romance filled with heat, heart, and redemption. Set in a world of art, power, and high-society intrigue, it explores what happens when two men discover that love isn’t about control—it’s about courage.
