In the vibrant streets of London, Charlie is struggling to make ends meet. To afford his mother’s care facility, he’s taken on a risky side job that forces him to sell his body. Life is tough, but Charlie remains resilient, finding solace in the camaraderie of his four best friends.
When a chance encounter brings him face-to-face with Sebastian, a wealthy businessman from New York fifteen years his senior, their connection ignites a passion that neither can ignore. After a perfect night together, they are drawn back into each other’s lives, their chemistry undeniable.
But as they navigate their growing feelings, Charlie’s desire for independence clashes with Sebastian’s longing for someone to nurture and care for. Just as they begin to explore their connection, Charlie’s life implodes, and Sebastian’s past trauma resurfaces, threatening to tear them apart.
Can they find a way to overcome the dangers from their pasts and embrace the love that’s blossoming between them, or will their tumultuous histories destroy their chance at happiness? Perfect Night is a gripping tale of love, desire, and the high stakes of opening your heart.

Sebastian had fallen asleep too and stirred when Charlie moved. He pulled him closer, afraid he was going to bolt.
“I need to pee.”
“Okay, but don’t run off.”
“The toilet is two feet away. Why did you book this hotel? It’s a bit bargain basement for you.”
“Cheeky fucker.”
Charlie raised an eyebrow.
“Fair point. Go to the toilet and I’ll see what I can do about food.”
“There’s a burger place down the road.”
“Then that’s what we’ll do.”
Charlie took a shower, but Sebastian didn’t. He didn’t want Charlie out of his sight for the time being. Not until they’d talked properly. Once they were dressed and about to leave, Charlie picked up the envelope of money and passed it to Sebastian.
“There’s no safe in this room, so you’ll need to take that with you.”
He wanted Charlie to have the money, but now wasn’t the time to get into that. He pocketed it and they left. It didn’t take them long to get to the fast-food place. Charlie suggested they eat in, or the room would stink of burgers all night. Sebastian was tempted to take them back to his suite. He hadn’t officially checked out, but he was enjoying this little bubble they were in, where they looked like a regular couple staying in a hotel and popping out for a burger. Charlie seemed more relaxed as well.
They ordered and didn’t have to wait long before they had their food. They needed to get a few things out in the open. Charlie gave Sebastian a rundown of what had happened at work. It took all of Sebastian’s strength to not go after Nathaniel Klein now. How fucking dare he treat someone like that? He wouldn’t stand for it.
“And get that look out of your eye,” said Charlie.
“What look?”
“The ‘I’m going to destroy Nathaniel Klein’ look.”
“How do you know me so well already?”
“Sebastian, will you please let me handle this?”
“Are you going to sue him, then?”
“You Americans love a lawsuit.”
“Hey.” He smiled. “Okay, I’ll let it go on one condition. Actually, two conditions.”
“It depends what they are.”
