Before Christian can end his relationship with a closeted cheater, he needs to see the evidence firsthand. He disguises himself and attends a masquerade ball escorted by a friend, in search of the Stranger in Black. When he finds him, he gets something entirely differentâ€"and much more eroticâ€"than he expected.
One by one, the pieces fall away, exposing their dual deception. After the masksâ€"and the pantsâ€"are off, Christian and Jarrod must work together to support a friend… and maybe become something more than strangers.
