Code Name: Sapphire

£3.59

A reckless MI6 agent. A disciplined CIA operative. A forbidden love that becomes their most dangerous mission.

Jack Taylor (MI6) is chaos in a leather jacket. Mario Rossi (CIA) is control in a tailored suit. Forced to partner to stop a ghost-like trafficker of secrets known as The Broker, their clash is instant and explosive. Professional contempt ignites into a secret, passionate affair—a catastrophic liability in their world of lies.

As The Broker’s schemes turn lethal, targeting one of their own, Jack and Mario must bridge the gap between Jack’s impulsive genius and Mario’s rigid precision to have any hope of success. But when a rival agent from Mario’s past threatens their fragile trust, and The Broker discovers their secret, they are framed as traitors. Hunted by the very agencies they swore to protect, they have only each other.

To survive and expose the truth, they must do the impossible: infiltrate The Broker’s lair. It will take every ounce of their skill, trust, and newfound love to win. But can a relationship born in shadow survive the glaring light of day?

Code Name: Sapphire is a pulse-pounding M/M romantic thriller full of electric tension, steamy encounters, and heart-stopping action. It’s an enemies-to-lovers story about finding your equal in the most unlikely place, and fighting for a future when every rule says you shouldn’t have one.

Two agents. One deadly secret. A love that could destroy them—or save everything.

Jack Taylor is MI6’s most brilliant, reckless, and charming operative. His methods are unorthodox, his survival record is legendary, and his ability to follow orders is nonexistent. When a shadowy figure known only as The Broker begins auctioning the West’s most dangerous secrets, Jack’s maverick style finally catches up with him. He’s benched, and to make matters worse, he’s assigned a new partner: the one man guaranteed to tie him in knots.

Mario Rossi is the CIA’s best. A former Airborne Ranger turned elite SSD agent, he is discipline incarnate—cold, precise, and utterly uncompromising. Sent to London to lead the hunt for The Broker, he finds his greatest obstacle isn’t the enemy, but his own new partner: a flippant, rule-breaking Brit who treats espionage like a game. Mario sees Jack as a liability, a walking security breach who relies on charm over protocol.

Their partnership is a disaster from the first meeting. Clashing in cramped surveillance vans and dangerous field ops, their professional contempt ignites into a fiery, undeniable attraction. A desperate kiss in the heat of a crisis shatters every boundary, revealing a connection that terrifies them both. In a world where trust is a weakness and love is the ultimate security risk, they begin a secret, volatile affair.

As The Broker’s game grows more deadly—threatening not just state secrets, but the life of a fellow agent—Jack and Mario are forced to rely on each other completely. From the steamy confines of a sauna in the Scottish Highlands to a breathtaking, scandalous waltz at a diplomatic gala, their bond deepens. But their greatest threat may not be the enemy. A charming, manipulative rival agent with a history with Mario arrives, sowing doubt and jealousy. When The Broker uncovers their secret and turns it into a weapon, framing them as traitors to the very agencies they serve, Jack and Mario must go on the run.

Hunted by their own, they transform from prey to hunters. To clear their names and stop a global catastrophe, they must breach The Broker’s impenetrable fortress. It will require Jack’s chaotic brilliance and Mario’s flawless discipline to become a single, unstoppable force. But even if they succeed, can a love forged in lies and bullets survive in the light of day?

Code Name: Sapphire is a sizzling, high-stakes M/M romantic thriller that combines the gritty tension of a spy novel with the passionate intensity of a slow-burn romance. It’s a story of two damaged men finding solace and strength in each other, learning that the most dangerous mission of all is building a future together. Perfect for fans of action-packed romance, enemies-to-lovers tension, and stories where the heart is the final battlefield.

    Title: “The Perfect Blend of Heart-Pounding Action and Slow-Burn Heat”
    Review: I devoured Code Name: Sapphire in two days. As a longtime fan of spy novels and romance, this book felt like it was written just for me. Jack and Mario are a masterpiece of character creation—their chemistry is off-the-charts from the first hostile glance. The author brilliantly balances the high-stakes, gritty world of international espionage (the server farm breaches had me on the edge of my seat) with the tender, vulnerable moments of two men learning to trust. The jealousy subplot with Lucas was perfectly executed, raising the stakes emotionally. But what truly sets this apart is the emotional payoff. The journey from enemies to partners to lovers to husbands is earned, believable, and incredibly moving. The ending in Sicily left me with the warmest, most satisfied feeling. This isn’t just a romance with spies; it’s a brilliantly plotted thriller where the central love story is the key to the mystery. Highly, highly recommended.

    Title: “Authentic Tradecraft Meets Unforgettable Romance”
    Review: Having a background in intelligence, I’m often pulled out of spy stories by unrealistic details. Not so with Code Name: Sapphire. The operational planning, the tech, the bureaucratic hurdles—it all rings true, providing a fantastic, credible backdrop. Against this authentic canvas, Jack and Mario’s relationship shines even brighter. Their conflict is professional and deeply personal. Jack’s “chaotic genius” isn’t just a trope; you see how his mind works. Mario’s rigid control is clearly a trauma response, making his gradual unraveling so powerful. The intimate scenes are smoking hot, but also poignant, each one advancing their character development. The third-act crisis, where their love is used as a weapon against them, was a narrative masterstroke. It’s a 400-page testament to the idea that love isn’t a vulnerability, but a unique strength. A standout in the genre.

    Title: “Enemies-to-Lovers Perfection with Real Stakes”
    Review: The enemies-to-lovers trope is my favorite, and this is one of the best executions I’ve ever read. The animosity between Jack and Mario is palpable, fueled by genuine ideological differences. Their transition isn’t easy or quick; it’s a slow burn built on shared danger and reluctant respect that finally erupts. The supporting cast, especially Ben Carter and the manipulative Lucas, add fantastic layers. The plot is tight and propulsive—every chapter ends with a reason to keep reading, whether it’s a cliffhanger in the field or a charged glance in a hallway. But beyond the thrills, this is a deeply emotional story about two lonely men finding a home in each other. Jack’s vulnerability under his bravado, Mario’s fear beneath his control—it’s all so beautifully realized. The final chapters are a balm for the soul. I laughed, I gasped, I swooned. An absolute must-read.

  • The Male Variation: A Novel of Love and Ballet

    In the gilded, punishing world of the Teatro Colón, eighteen-year-old Santiago Vargas is a masterpiece of contradictions: a powerfully masculine prodigy in the graceful art of ballet, a son trapped by traditional expectations, and a young man silently drowning in a truth he dare not speak.

    Haunted by an awakening attraction to the male bodies that share his stage and showers, Santiago’s disconnection from his own life deepens. His salvation—and his ruin—arrives in the form of Mateo Casales, a legendary forty-one-year-old former star hired as his private tutor. In the intimate silence of Mateo’s studio, rigorous correction evolves into profound connection. Mateo’s hands, which teach the language of movement, begin to speak a different, more dangerous dialect—one of recognition, desire, and a shared loneliness that echoes across a twenty-three-year chasm.

    The Male Variation is a sweeping, 54-chapter epic that charts the terrifyingly beautiful collision of two souls. Santiago, grappling with the seismic decision to come out in a society and a family that may reject him, finds in Mateo not just a teacher, but the first person who truly sees him. Mateo, a ghost haunted by the memory of a past love sacrificed to fear, is terrified that history is repeating itself, even as he’s irresistibly drawn to Santiago’s talent and vulnerability.

    Their love story unfolds in stolen moments: in the hallowed darkness of an empty theatre, in the rain-soaked sanctuary of a private home, and in the secret language of music and touch. But the outside world is relentless. From the claustrophobic gossip of the company locker room to the devastating, public fallout of an anonymous letter and a tabloid scandal, Santiago and Mateo are forced to navigate a labyrinth of professional ruin, familial heartbreak, and societal condemnation.

    At the heart of the storm, Santiago is handed the role of a lifetime: Don José in Carmen, a character destroyed by a forbidden, all-consuming passion. He must decide whether to hide or to channel his own forbidden love into a performance that could redeem or destroy him. Meanwhile, Mateo faces an impossible choice: deny their love to save Santiago’s soaring career, or stand proudly in the light, accepting the cost.

    This is more than a romance; it is a profound exploration of artistry, identity, and the courage it takes to live authentically. It delves into the eroticism of the dancer’s form, the intimate cartography of a shared soul, and the brutal, beautiful cost of choosing love over safety. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Buenos Aires and the demanding world of professional ballet, the novel is a symphony of emotion—tragic, romantic, erotic, and ultimately triumphant.

    For readers who crave deeply emotional, character-driven stories, The Male Variation offers an unforgettable journey. It is a testament to the power of love as the ultimate creative force and the most difficult, rewarding variation a person can ever dance.
