It's lonely at the top.

I knew it would be when I clawed my way up here, trading away favors and any personal life to get to where I am today, the head of the hottest new video game company in the industry.

When an old friend calls in one of those favors, I'm happy to help Xander out. His partner, Dominic, needs to impress some conservative clients, and showing up to get-to-know-you dinners with a heavily tattooed man on his arm isn't the way to do it.

And there are far worse things in the world than pretending to be Dom's fiancée.

When the fake kisses with Dominic start to feel real, I realize there's something missing in my life. Worse, I realize I never should've let Xander get away.

But if the three of us together can't clear this next level in our lives, everything we've worked for will crash around us. There's no way love is worth that kind of sacrifice.
