REVENGE IS AN ACQUIRED TASTE.
Before Jayden Marcos could Eat the Rich, he had to find out what they taste like. In FalconINK’s boundary-pushing prequel to NakedSword Originals’ hit movie, Jayden must reconcile with his traumatic past before he can confront the political hypocrisy of the present. Penned by award-winning writer and filmmaker Ben Rush, the all-new erotic novella is available as a trade paperback ($9.99 SRP), ebook ($4.99 SRP), and audiobook ($9.99 SRP) wherever books are sold, including Amazon, Apple Books, and Barnes & Noble. The audiobook edition of Eat the Rich: First Taste is narrated by Jayden Marcos, star of the film that’s currently available exclusively at HUNTFORMEN.com.
“Ben has created something intimate and provocative, and Jayden’s audiobook performance gives it a whole new layer,” said Falcon | NakedSword President and CEO Tim Valenti. “We’re incredibly proud to release this novella in all formats and excited for readers and listeners to experience the events leading up to Eat the Rich.”
“At its heart, Eat the Rich: First Taste is about Jayden deciding he’s not going to let other people define him anymore,” said Ben Rush, author, filmmaker and Falcon | NakedSword’s Co-Chief Content Officer. “He’s been betrayed, he’s angry, and he’s looking at a political landscape full of hypocrisy. He wants to figure out what he’s going to do about it. That’s really where the Jayden we meet in Eat the Rich begins. Hearing Jayden narrate the story himself adds another dimension to the whole project. He brings this confidence and growing sense of power to the character that makes the story feel incredibly urgent.”
“Recording Eat the Rich: First Taste was such a fun experience,” said Jayden Marcos. “Bringing all those different sides of the story to life was challenging, but I loved it. I hope when people listen, they feel like they’re right there in the story with me.”
The launch of FalconINK in July of this year came alongside several major milestones for Falcon | NakedSword, including an induction of FalconINK’s inaugural titles, Hard Ball and Wild Game: Open Season, into the Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library, the industry’s first-ever SFW vertical micro-drama, and an underwear design collaboration with Skull & Bones.
ABOUT ‘EAT THE RICH: FIRST TASTE’
WRITTEN BY BEN RUSH
AUDIOBOOK NARRATED BY JAYDEN MARCOS
IMPRINT: NAKEDSWORD BOOKS
Eat the Rich: First Taste is the provocative prequel to NakedSword’s hit movie Eat the Rich, revealing how one betrayal sparks a new, dangerously seductive kind of revenge.
When college freshman Jayden Marcos hooks up with wealthy, closeted dream guy Kyle Randolph, the fantasy turns bad as soon as Kyle reveals he secretly recorded their encounter. But Jayden isn’t about to remain a victim. He sets his sights on Kyle’s powerful, anti-gay father, only to discover that sex and hypocrisy can be used as serious leverage. What begins as payback becomes something much bigger: a bold, morally ambiguous scheme to get rich and powerful men to bankroll the communities they publicly condemn.
Fiercely erotic and darkly funny, First Taste reveals how Jayden discovers his calling and takes the first step toward building the operation at the center of Eat the Rich.
