About the book

The shave ends when he removes the towel. The wanting never does.

Leander Shaw schedules everything: board meetings, workouts, family obligations, even the minutes available for a haircut.

Then he starts booking the last appointment every Friday at Bellamy House.

Nico Bellamy is younger, tattooed, observant, and fully aware that Leander is not returning only for an expensive shave. He comes back for warm towels, fingers in his hair, and the rare relief of being told to close his eyes and stop managing the room.

When Leander finally admits he wants more, Nico gives him one rule: ask as a man, not as a customer.

One kiss becomes a four-week arrangement. The arrangement becomes locked doors, jealous confessions, and a new understanding of what Leander wants from intimacy—and from himself.

Leander is ready to admit what he wants. Nico refuses to become another luxury service Leander enjoys only when his carefully controlled schedule allows it. Making the relationship real requires Leander to choose a life that cannot be managed one appointment at a time.
