All he has to do is be an escort who sells his company, not his body. Easy, right?
It is until he meets Russian god Adrik Hail.

He’s a busy man who likes organization, and hiring someone from Polished means he’s the one in control.
Then adorable West walks through the door, changing everything. Now Adrik’s mind and body want more from the man, who is as sweet as he is kind. Adrik just needs to find a way of working out West.

EXCERPT
“Beef stroganoff,” Mr. Hail stated as he put his own bowl down and sat.
I smiled. I didn’t let it wither when he just stared at me, giving me nothing. Instead, I said, “Thank you. It looks and smells amazing.” I picked up my fork and took a mouthful, moaning as the taste exploded in my mouth. I opened my eyes, which I hadn’t realized I’d closed, to see Mr. Hail had been watching me still. He didn’t pick up his fork until I nodded and mumbled, “It’s great.”
He grunted and started eating. Silence rent the room except for our forks and the slight sound of munching. I really didn’t do well when things got quiet. In fact, I got more nervous. I felt like I needed to speak and make things comfortable, but I was fighting myself, unsure Mr. Hail was looking for someone to start dribbling shit about nothing in general.
So, I would sit there in silence.
I could.
I had to, because he certainly wasn’t saying anything.
Silence was good.
Oh, look over there to the row of floor-to-ceiling windows that I can jump out. I just have to move the transparent curtains. Why do people get see-through curtains? Wait, it looks like there’s a balcony. At least I won’t have to climb out a window.
Yep, silence was so much fun.
Well, what do we have here? There’s a dead plant sitting in a pot at the end of the row of windows. Maybe the silence killed it.
I was not prepared for this book! My emotions are raw after finishing this one and I needed the rest of the night just to gather all of my thoughts and feelings. The story took a complete turn from where I thought it would lead but I loved it and it had me falling for these characters so hard. I just wanted to give West a hug and make everything better for him but seeing Adrik take that roll was even better.
I absolutely loved Adrik and how he was with West. Their attraction was so strong and I really liked that even though they both tried to fight it at first, they just couldn't. It was a very real and adorable relationship that had me captivated. And when things got even more complicated between them it only had me loving their characters even more.
Overall, this was a surprisingly deep and emotional story but it was also a very cute one. I was dying for this story from the moment I read the ending of the previous book and I can now say that it was well worth the wait.
