Spoiler Alert! The following blurb contains spoilers for Insight, book one of The Community.
Holden Payne has it all . . . or so he thinks. As heir to the founder of the Community—an organization that finds, protects, and manages psychics—he’s rich, powerful, and treated like royalty. But after a series of disappearances and murders rock the Community, he’s branded the fall guy for the scandal and saddled with a babysitter.
Sixtus Rossi is a broad-shouldered, tattooed lumbersexual with a man-bun and a steely gaze. He’s also an Invulnerable—supposedly impervious to both psychic abilities and Holden’s charms. It’s a claim Holden takes as a challenge. Especially if sleeping with Six may help him learn whether the Community had more to do with the disappearances than they claimed.
As Holden uncovers the truth, he also finds himself getting in deep with the man sent to watch him. His plan to seduce Six for information leads to a connection so intense that some of Six’s shields come crashing down. And with that comes a frightening realization: Holden has to either stand by the Community that has given him everything, or abandon his old life to protect the people he loves.

Excerpt
Six was sitting behind the desk, once again clad in a
skintight polo buttoned up all the way but this time paired with cargo pants.
As he sat on the edge of the chair with his thighs spread, Holden was waiting
for all those muscles to burst the seams.
"Why do you dress like an extra from Jersey
Shore?"
"I'd have to pop my collar for that." He only
paused in his typing when a surprised laugh fell from Holden’s mouth. Raising
an eyebrow at me, Six said, "Was I not supposed to get the
reference?"
"Well, you're a cyborg so I didn't think you
would."
Six turned in the chair so he was facing Holden. He had on
his default neutral face, but a slight twitch of his brow and lip betrayed
possible amusement at the comment. Was there some getting through to him after
all, or were they destined to stare at each other in mutual blankness to see
who could emote the least for the next… however long he'd be here as Holden's
handler?
"Not having an empathy chip doesn't make me a cyborg.
There are plenty of ways to figure someone out without feeling any of their
vibes."
Holden crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against
the wall next to the desk. "As someone who was born with an empathy chip
with elephantiasis, color me skeptical."
Six mirrored his post, crossing his arms and leaning back in
the chair with his thighs spread. The view of thick thighs and a good sized
bulge were a temptation Holden didn't try to resist. He glanced down twice
before managing to hold Six's steady gaze.
