My Best Friend's Millionaire Brother: A forbidden gay M/M romance of family secrets, revenge and slow-burning desire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185009390)

Ryan Wong only wanted one night with no consequences. A queer bar in San Francisco, an older stranger with a steady gaze, dry humour and hands far too sure of themselves. Daniel Lee seemed like the perfect man to make a mistake with: attractive, guarded, divorced and completely disconnected from Ryan's life. Until the next morning, when Ryan discovers that this man is not a stranger at all. He is Noah's older brother - Noah, Ryan's best friend - the person Daniel raised almost as a son.

Daniel is not only hiding what happened between them. He is also hiding his fortune, a badly unresolved divorce and a dangerous need to prove to his ex-husband that he was never the man with no future Trevor thought he saw. Every encounter with Ryan ignites something neither of them can control, but every lie brings Noah closer to a truth capable of breaking the only family Ryan has ever chosen. And when money, revenge and desire collide, loving Daniel starts to feel far too much like betraying Noah.

Ryan can run towards a brilliant career far from San Francisco. Daniel can keep using his wealth as armour. Noah can decide that none of them deserves a place at his table again. But if Ryan and Daniel want something real, they will have to choose it without secrets, without performance and without turning love into another test of worth.

What awaits you in these pages?

• A hidden millionaire with real wounds: Daniel has more than enough money, but not a single dollar can buy Noah's forgiveness or Ryan's trust.
• A forbidden slow-burn M/M romance: immediate desire, slow-earned legitimacy and a relationship that can only survive if it stops hiding.
• The best friend's older brother: the most dangerous taboo in the novel is not age or money, but broken loyalty inside a chosen family.
• Revenge, an ex-husband and emotional karma: Trevor is not a cardboard villain; he is the wound Daniel must stop feeding if he wants to love without destroying.
• A lived-in, queer, tech-driven San Francisco: Muni, Dogpatch, Richmond, Ocean Beach, Alameda, video games, the space industry and apartments where intimacy always comes at a cost.
• Found family with consequences: reheated rice, bad coffee, awkward dinners and a table where no one should lose their place.
