Heralded as the next Neil Gaiman, Louis Tomlinson does not appreciate being told that his very serious novel is in dire need of a PR boost. Even worse, that it comes in the form of a joint book tour with the UKās #1 online romance-writing sensation Marcel Styles. Already turbulent at best, their partnership takes a drastic turn when, overly stressed about his looming deadline, Marcel accidentally blurts out a secret: though heās famed for his scorching hot literary love scenes, he is, actually, a virgin.
Convinced that the only way to rid himself of writerās block is to gain some experience, Marcel asks Louis, author-to-author, to sleep with him ā for Science. And of course Louis agrees because, well, what on Earth could possibly go wrong?
Or, a lesson in romance that proves that sometimes the best love stories arenāt always by the book.
Louis is a high profile, filthy rich label executive who has the world at his feet - a music god.. Harry is the sugar baby trying to make a name for himself singing in shady bars and hanging off the arm of Louisā biggest rival. What Louis wants, Louis gets. But what if the game gets too hot and hits a little too close to the heart?
Right, okay, so Harry had confessed his deepest, darkest, dirtiest secrets to a stranger who turned out to be his boss. No big deal. This was probably just the beginning of Harryās own hilariously heartwarming, wildly romantic Hallmark Christmas movie, come to life, right?
ā¦Right?
-- very loosely inspired by Sophie Kinsella's Can You Keep A Secret?

if the circus music video is for daydreaming and itās about harry performing and suddenly being thrust into the limelight but also being shackled and chained down āshe says love me like you paid meā because she IS paid and him trying to break free and itās a dream to have all these great experiences and material things but the real day dream is being at home with your love and asking for that person to give you all of their love so when youāre on the road and āgone for so longā it lingers and you can feel it as theyāre right there besides you even if in reality you know itās a day dream and magic and illusion are made up and fake and the circus is about this show to make people believe all of these fake things are real but it doesnāt matter none of it matters because!!! heās singing to louis at home that āloving youās the real thingā!!!!!!!
