Nothing But Trouble by Jenna Byrnes
Here a little story, less than 40 pages, that follows step by step all the classical milestones of romance. Adrian is young, pretty and in need of money to help his sick mother. Graham is older, handsome and in the closet. And wealthy. And so when Graham offers 10 thousand dollars to Adrian to spend the night with him, Adrian makes his counteroffer: 50 thousand dollars for three nights.
Is it only a business transaction? maybe on Graham's side, but Adrian is not a bad guy, probably he is a guy who enjoys his sexual life, and since in this moment he is not in a relationship and Graham is an handsome man, why not benefit from this? Obviously feelings are not expected, and when Adrian starts to feel something for Graham the usual question will raise: can he accept money for something he is so clearly enjoying?
From the blurb of the story you can think that Adrian is almost a saint, and usually saints are not nice characters, too prim and proper; instead Adrian is only young, he has dreams like all the other twenty something guys around, but life put him in front of an hard time. But all in all he manages to not become sharp and detached. Graham is a bit harder to like; a more than forty years old man that still persist in denying his true nature even when he has the position and wealth to ignore the public opinion.
Well, if you'd like the Pretty Woman type of story and the happily ever after ending, this is a fast and enjoyable story to read.
