The Wolfe Proxy by T.D. McKinney & Terry Wylis

Max is a not so struggling artist who lives as he likes: openly gay he has the reputation to be a good lover but not a constant one, he only does one night stand. So when his sister Jenn comes to live with him and she sets her eyes on Quinton, the CEO of the firm on which Jenn has a big shares, Max recognizes in him a twin soul, only the "straight" version: Quinton is famous in the city to be the most wanted bachelor, but he is never serious with his conquests. Since Jenn is a very nice girl, innocent and sweet, Max will not let Quint treat her like another notch in his belt. He manages to meet Quint in private and he goes all Big Brother with him.

First time Quint sees Max, he immediately realizes that he would prefer to have the handsome man in his bed rather than his sister; and when Max threatens him, Quint reacts as only a business man would do, with a private agreement: he will stay far from Jenn (at least from her bed) if Max will be his boy toy. Quint really doesn't imagine that Max will agree to his proposal, also since he doesn't know that the man is gay. And when Max instead simply says "yes", he isn't expecting for him to take the lead role in the relationship. Quint always played the role of the boss, something he learnt from his father; both Quint and his father were good men, with old fashion idea on what is private life and what is work, your private persona should not interfere with your public imagine, and with "strangers" you have always to play the detached and aloof role of the business man... never letting know to your enemy that you have an heart.

Quint took a bit too seriously his role, and now he actually doesn't have a private life; and since he lost his father, his only relatives, he now has no one with whom he could show his true self; he is captive of his public persona, and neither Max, at first, can see beyond it. But when Quint lets for a moment the mask go, Max finds a different man in bed with him, someone who needs tenderness and assurances. It's quite interesting to read the shifting in role between Max and Quint: no one of them is a perfect leader and no one of them is a perfect follower. I believe that both of them built a shield against the world, Quint becoming the cold business man, Max the careless don juan, but behind that shield, they are both men with deep emotions, sometime also easy to be carry away from them; when they are with someone they trust, or when they believe to be alone, they are also men who doesn't fear to prove their feelings even with tears. But even if they cries a lot, I don't have of them the impression that they are weak, in a way they are like all the artists should be: to pass on emotion they need to feel harder than anyone else.

It's a very romantic love story, with an heavy push on the romantic side; I like as both main characters are completely involved in the relationship from the first moment, and as they prove it both with words than signs; I like as they are weak in front of their feelings but not in front of the world; and I like as they take the responsibility for their mistakes and try to righten them.
