—Too Many Clients

The plot of this novel revolves around a guy's secret sex dungeon, only instead of a (basement) dungeon it's a secret penthouse, and instead of a (bdsm) dungeon it's a satin-covered boudoir lined with artistic nudes. It also deserved some trigger warnings - some partner violence and the attitude or reaction to it of the principal characters. Overall, the plot was great though, especially the lead-in. The beginning was fantastic.
