Kiss him, sleep with him, but don’t ever fall in love with him.

The first time Wes Archer steps into Jack of Clubs, an exclusive London pleasure club, he’s completely confident he can heed the tried-and-true advice about becoming an escort. Wes gives himself away for free with casual hookups all the time. Why not make some cash doing what he already loves? And cash is something he desperately needs. His brother’s gambling addiction has taken their family’s home, saddled Wes with insurmountable debts, and compromised his chances for finishing his degree.

Accepting an offer to spend a few hours of fun with a rich bloke will be a simple business transaction, right?

Wrong.

Wes’s first client is Cormac Reilly. The handsome billionaire is grumpy, funny, and commanding in a way that unlocks desires Wes never knew he had. Cormac is icily determined to keep their arrangement strictly business, but that doesn’t stop Wes from finding him fascinating.

As their one-night contract becomes something much more, Wes can’t deny he’s falling for his client. He knows he’s flouting all the rules, but breaking down Cormac’s barriers is an irresistible challenge, and his reward might be the best prize of all — love.

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes a passionate love story set in London and Paris about two astonishingly different men and one very pretty mess.

“So, is it like a private club?” He gets up, goes to the kitchen, and comes back with two bottles of water. He chucks one to me and sits back down, opening his own bottle and taking a sip. “That’s exactly what it is. These men come from all over the world to fuck beautiful young men with a clear bill of health. Young men who know how to behave impeccably in polite society and can talk knowledgeably on any desired subject.” He eyes me. “That part will take some work with you.” “Hey,” I say indignantly, but he ignores me. “The owner of the club is a facilitator who introduces boys like me to these incredibly wealthy men.” “And then what happens?” His mouth twists. “Well, Wes, then the two men kiss, fall in love, and hold hands for eternity.” “I feel like you’re taking the piss.” “Whatever gave you that idea?” This whole thing is like a TV drama, and I’m so intrigued. “So do you all shag in a room somewhere like the back area of a club?” “Good god, no. What part of rich and discreet did you not get? There are rooms upstairs at the club where we take the men. We perform, and if we’re lucky, the men decide to take us on.” “What does that mean?” He shrugs. “They keep us. We get a flat and an allowance. Plus, they pay for clothes and all the bills.”  

Lily lives in sunny England with her husband and two children, all of whom claim that they haven’t had a proper conversation with her since she bought her first Kindle. She has spent her life with her head full of daydreams and decided one day to just sit down and start writing about them. In the process she discovered that she actually loved writing, because how else could she get to spend her time with hot, funny men! She loves chocolate and Baileys and the best of all creations – chocolate Baileys! Her lifetime’s ambition is to have a bath in peace without being shouted by one of her family.
