Welcome.
I’m Jon Calton.

I’m a new author and I’ve just published my first book, The Titan and the Trainer.

This is my author website (and I’m very excited about it!)

The Titan and the Trainer

He’s a billionaire CEO used to controlling everything.

His new personal trainer is about to break all the rules.

Personal trainer Callum West is drowning in overdue bills and desperate to save his failing gym. Dancing at a gay club brings in extra cash, but it’s barely enough to keep the doors open. When a lucrative, late-night request comes in for private training sessions, Callum jumps at the chance, expecting an out-of-shape executive, not Julian Newman.

Julian is a handsome and powerful billionaire whose stoic ‘Titan’ business persona hides a deep, secret vulnerability. What begins as rigorous late-night workouts in a deserted 50th-floor Manhattan office gym, quickly turns into an intense game of desire. Driven by instant physical chemistry and mutual longing, the strict boundaries between trainer and client rapidly dissolve.

Set against a sweeping New York backdrop, The Titan and the Trainer is a high-heat, opposites-attract, M/M contemporary romance exploring the raw collision of two different worlds and proving that true strength lies in surrendering to love.
