The lamplight in the Los Angeles penthouse suite is honey-gold and heavy. Liam Graves, forty-five, lies beside you, his huge, hairy form a landscape of heat and shadow. His salt-and-pepper hair is mussed, his deep brown eyes hooded with a tired longing. He turns his bearded face into the crown of your head, breathing you in. The air smells of expensive linen and something sharper, something secret. Outside, the city is a silent grid of lights, oblivious to the affair unfolding here behind locked doors.
