About this listen
The Hornet's Nest is a brothel on the Lower East Side providing studs and fairies to men who like men. Romeo Ricci is an Italian immigrant who has had to make some hard choices to survive. He works at the Hornet's Nest as the resident stud with a prodigious endowment. That, and his dark good looks, make him the brothel's most requested employee.
Liam Van Aert is the heir to an old New York fortune, but becoming a banker, like his father, is the last thing on his mind. The pale, red-haired, fortunate son has undisclosed longings that set him apart, and his love of books is not the only thing that makes him different.
When Liam meets Romeo, their worlds are set on end and nothing will be the same. Their relationship will inevitably lead to love and heartbreak, but destiny will not be denied. As their relationship deepens, the stakes soar: Romeo’s father and Liam’s mother—each bound by their own rigid beliefs and fierce expectations—begin to suspect that their sons are entangled in a forbidden love. Their investigation could shatter the young men's hopes and dreams, leaving them trapped in a life devoid of true happiness and love.
As their love blooms amidst scandal and secrecy, will they overcome the forces determined to tear them apart, or will their dreams of a life together remain an unattainable fantasy?

I wasn't ready for Jacob Clark. He was sin and dark edges, wrapped in regret. He was my Kryptonite. His words oozed over me like warm honey. His dark eyes pricked my soul, and his touch.... Those fingers set my skin on fire. Of course, he was too good to be true. And before I could wipe the icing off my greedy lips, I was walking away. So, why was he invading my dreams?

College never felt this exhilarating. I felt crushed under the weight of college life, watching my confidence shrink with each passing day as I pined after a girl I couldn't bring myself to approach. Then Claire walked into my life with her knowing smile and an offer I couldn't refuse - she'd teach me everything I needed to know about being a man. My education started in this little café downtown, the kind of place where the coffee came in actual cups and the pastries looked like art. But it was her home that changed everything--that first night with her blew past every fumbling fantasy ...
