Publisher Description

The phone rings. I know it's him. Out there in the dark. Watching me. I should be scared, but something else stirs instead…

DAX SHARP tries to walk the straight and narrow after doing time. He wants to be honest and settle down, but when his warehouse job lays him off and replaces him with a robot, he has no choice but to revive his inner villain and enact one final heist for his survival. His target? The CEO's remote vacation compound in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He plans for every possible situation, except one…

REED THOMPSON can't believe his luck when he finally scores a high-paying, weeklong house-sitting gig. He needs a win after losing his mom and being ghosted by a man he really liked. But when he starts receiving menacing (if somewhat titillating) calls from an unknown number, he discovers he's being watched, and the watcher wants in.

Will Dax hurt the hot house boy to walk away rich? Does Reed have the strength to survive at the hands of the sexy intruder in the ski mask? Maybe this dangerous game of cat-and-mouse can end with two satisfied winners instead of just one…

This romp in the dark features age gap, rope play, grumpy/sunshine, role play, and much more.
