Rock star River Wild has always been a magpie. He likes shiny, ephemeral things. Now that his bandmates have decided to prioritize their health and families and quit the Flat Tires, though, River's tendencies have become self-destructive. If he brings home one more pretty guy who runs off with a handful of valuables, his manager's going to lock him in a chastity belt.
A sugar baby sounds like a great alternative.
Jem Anderson has never done this before, but he's broke and low on options, and his experience as the world's judgiest kindergarten teacher makes him uniquely qualified for this assignment. All he has to do is keep his mouth shut about the upcoming band breakup, show up on River Wild's arm, and prevent him from going home with people who are bad for him-no nudity required.
He never thought he'd regret that clause.
It takes River all of one date to fall head over heels for bright, fiery Jem, who breaks River's creative block without trying and reignites his passion for music. But their financial arrangement muddies the waters. In a glitzy town like LA, how can he tell what's real and what's just costume jewelry?
