Naomi Blackford and Christian Valentine have maintained the perfect situationship: a no strings attached, no complications, just mind-blowing sensual experiences whenever they meet at their mutual space. He handles high-stakes contracts by day; she runs her successful escort business by night. Their worlds couldn’t be more different, but for those stolen hours together, nothing else exists.
