For decades, Brendan Lau has swept the Hollywood scene as an openly gay actor starring in romantic films—but now, at fifty-one, he's losing out on roles to younger actors. And when he's passed over as the hero in a period film and instead cast as the father, it's less his reputation and more his pride that can't take the insult. But when he confronts the younger actor who stole his part, he walks in on Cillian Tell struggling to fend off the director's unwanted advances.
For twenty-nine-year-old Cillian, Brendan is the reason he fell in love with acting. But the real Brendan is nothing like his debonair heroes or the charming image he presents on the red carpet; he's arrogant, domineering, grumpy, and entirely set in his obstinate ways.
Cillian can't lose his first role in a major feature film. Brendan can't stand the idea of working with a sleazy director. Yet when Cillian begs him to silence, Brendan agrees to keep his secrets. But somehow Brendan's role as Cillian's guardian turns into something else.
But what happens when Cillian starts to fall for the heart beneath the grouch?
And what happens when Brendan discovers Cillian's royal lineage?
Contains mature themes.

CW: sexual assault, "rape" kink The author seems to love going overboard with the descriptions; I did get lost in them several times. Personally, it did rattle me when Cillian asked to "be raped", but limits and safe words where clearly in place and they did discuss what he actually sought to feel from the action. I'm glad the author made a clear distinction between sexual assault and this kink of Cillians. At the same time, I found Brandon very interesting. This aloof character, who played so many roles it's hard to see the real him. He seems so self assured and content with life as it is, but at the same time fully in the clouds about his own emotions.
