Colin Kwan bills 2,814 hours a year in pullups no one can hear. He's three days from making partner at the most unforgiving firm in Manhattan, and his briefcase just exploded in a billionaire's lobby.

Diapers. A pacifier. A stuffed rabbit named Judge Carrots. All of it on Italian marble, under fluorescent lights, in front of the one man whose opinion could end his career.

Jensen Carmichael doesn't flinch. He doesn't ask questions. He blocks the view, picks up the pacifier, and hands it back palm-to-palm like it weighs nothing.

Jensen is a venture capitalist with a nursery he built for someone who never came. Sage-green walls, a hand-built crib, and twenty-three months of pressing his palm against a locked door. He knows what care looks like. He also knows what it looks like when someone needs it and has no language for asking.

Colin is a Korean American first-generation golden child running on anxiety, Gatsby hair gel, and the terror that anyone might discover the boy who drinks warm milk on his kitchen floor in a onesie after midnight. When a paralegal starts leaving smiley-face Post-its on his monitor, each one larger, bolder, closer, the secret he's spent three years engineering into silence becomes a weapon someone else is holding.

Jensen has one offer: Come over. There's a room here that was built for this.

What follows is warm milk and cold marble. Rocking chairs and courtrooms. A Daddy who reads timestamps like burn rates and a Little who files his feelings under inadmissible. A circle of powerful men who all have doors they're afraid to open. And the terrifying, ordinary act of letting someone see you, all of you, and choosing to stay.

Keeping Colin's Secret is the first book in The Blackwell Circle, a series of interconnected standalone MM romances set in and around Dominion, a private kink club in Brooklyn Heights where caregivers and Littles find the softness the world outside won't give them.

Features: Explicit MM sexual content. ABDL and Caregiver/Little dynamics portrayed as consensual, negotiated, and non-humiliating. Workplace blackmail. Immigrant family pressure. Anxiety and stress-related physical symptoms. Age regression is psychological and emotional; all characters are adults. Guaranteed HEA.
