For an experienced sex worker like Daisy North, her job rarely surprises, but there’s nothing predictable about the movie star she picks up—or the deal they strike, a contract bound to be broken by one-sided love if the limelight doesn’t expose them first.

 

James Hannon grew up on the red carpet, the son of Hollywood royalty. Now he’s balancing his own acting career, an on-again, off-again relationship with his toxic ex, and untreated bipolar disorder. It’s not easy swinging from high to low, but he’s happier without half a pharmacy running through his veins. That’s what he tells himself, anyway, and he’s made his living out of lying.

 

Daisy has three simple rules: avoid pretty men, never get attached, and always charge. Though when she meets James at a quiet bar, she’s tempted to make an exception. Between the extravagant gifts and whispered confessions, Daisy’s lonely, regimented life opens up. Still, there’s security in that loneliness she’s afraid to sacrifice. Especially when James buys her exclusivity. 

 

Then their abusers step in, the ex-wife who groomed James as a teen and a possessive former client with designs on Daisy. But even jealous enemies and a scandal-in-waiting shrink before the greatest risk: to love at no cost.
