DOUBLE DEALING
NICOLE COLVILLE
M/M ROMANCE
BLURB
Caught in a messy merger with the mounting pressure to close a multi-million dollar deal, business mogul Ryder Granger finds things are more hostile than the average takeover, but he’s not just interested in acquiring the lucrative Lyon coffee chain. He has an entirely more personal motive hidden beneath his cool exterior and designer suit.
Trace Lyon believes the merger with B&G could be the way out of the closet his strict Southern father keeps him locked in, but there’s one big problem. Ryder Granger is everything Trace wants, and everything his father despises. Two years ago, they shared one incredible night together, but despite the connection and the intense heat, both walked away.
With the deal falling through, Ryder brings an unexpected offer to the table — a more personal type of merger between the two rival families, one Trace is dead against. After all, an arranged marriage in New York in 2016… That could never work out. Taking control in the only way he can, Trace agrees to marry Ryder, but secretly plots to double deal both his father and Ryder. He just has to get this whole absurd wedding out of the way first and ignore how happy Ryder makes him feel.
There are questions he’s hesitant to ask, however. Is Skye a man or a woman? And, what does it mean that he doesn’t really care?
Previously published under the Confidential Encounters Anthology with 30,000 new additions to read.
When we first meet Trace and Ryder, it is in a hotel room, and a night of hot sex seems to suit them both. The next morning however is when they actually find out each others surnames and everything between them crashes and burns
We then join them two years later. Ryder has never forgotten that night, but Trace I wasn't so sure about. Trace knew he was gay, but his father Cage, seemed to ignore that and was determined to have him married off to a sweet southern girl chosen by him obviously. Trace to me, just didn't seem to be able to stand up to his father, it was like was just accepting whatever he said.
Ryder them begins a merger with Lyons, and has to deal with Cage Lyons. To begin with Trace is absent, but then attends a meeting with his father, and when he and Ryder meet later it is clear the fireworks from two years ago are still around.
The only way that Ryder can see of having Trace with him, is to pur forward a new merger agreement, which includes a clause for Trace to become his husband - an arranged marriage. Trace is totally against this, but his father Cage thinks it is a splendid idea, especially with the pay off Trace would receive after a year.
The marriage takes place, but things are far from smooth for the two. They did talk, but not about their feelings or their relationship. Ryder can see that Trace is not happy, but believes they can work through things..... until Cage came to him, telling him he was there to take his son home where he belonged, and handing Ryder some legal documents. When Ryder looked at the documents, he realised although he loved Trace totally and completely, the feeling were certainly not returned.
Is there any chance for Ryder and Trace?? Will Trace actually grow some and stand up to his father, and more importantly, will he admit how he feels to Ryder?? At this point, I just wanted to reach in and hug Ryder, and was really ready to slap Trace hard !

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nicole grew bored being a supermodel genius who worked part time for NASA, and decided to take a break from helping solve the mysteries of the universe with Stephen Hawkins to write m/m romance.
She has a loving relationship with her hubby of twenty years, and has achieved a lot in her short life considering she's only eighteen. She has fourteen dogs of all different breeds, plus twenty cats, and when she's not tending to their every need, and solving complex math problems, she loves to sew and can be often found knitting in the garden, which she maintains all by herself with her magical green fingers. Finding time to make all of her own clothing and master the kitchen better than Gordon Ramsey, she's also a vegan domestic goddess and can often be found cooking up a storm bare foot in her kitchen. Okay, so that's not true, especially the cooking part, though I do tend to be bare foot and I swear like Gordon does while burning my latest creation — and I still think NASA will be getting in touch. Any day now!! *crosses fingers* I could sooo do that job because I'm so obviously awesome, but until they do... I'm a full time author of M/M Romance and Erotica, and somehow I have several bestselling books under my belt. I've been writing for four years, and I self publish all my work under Hidden Pleasures Publishing along with my amazing team of helpers in the form my cover designer Kellie Dennis, editor Jessica McKenna, and all of my beta readers and PA's. I'm a wife to my beloved hubby and mother to two young girls, and I do in fact have two cats who I adore, but no dog, as the hubby put his foot down. I live in Leeds in the North of England and I love it, despite the terrible weather. My men are all seeking what everyone is, true love mixed with passion and their own happy-ever-after full of laughter and tears.SOCIAL MEDIA
