Christian Sands: Doorman at Gramercy Place on the Upper East Side



My first love died in her sleep, and I ask forgiveness every day from a God I struggle to believe in. I write poems in a basement, keep my failures and secrets to myself, and live a life that feels like a lie. A life I owe to a man I barely know.



Gibson Hayes is married, wealthy, powerful, and the man who gave me my job when I came to New York. He's the most generous of billionaires and the most mysterious of men.



When he wants to promote me from his doorman to his personal assistant, curiosity and loyalty tempt me to say yes. I don't expect to find a sudden, deep connection with a man old enough to be my father. As the mystery of him unravels, and he seeks to ease my pain, I become a willing victim of his own suffering. When being bad feels this good, it's hard to care about one more black mark on my soul, even if the price we'll pay for our sins will break us both.
