Rockstar Laken “Ace” Thomas is barely surviving in the darkness of traumatic grief until Maddox Baker, his new handler, pulls him into the light. Together, they fight for a love strong enough to withstand Laken’s fame and put to rest the ghosts holding him in the past.

Sleeping with wealthy women for money pays the bills and gives me the opportunity to invest in my future. Everything is awesome until my, you know, decides to go on strike. Luckily, the Ashford Agency has a top-secret, hands-off assignment for a straight escort, and I jump on the opportunity. The little guy needs a break, and I can still make bank babysitting a rockstar. Easy peasy. Until Laken walks in and makes me question everything I thought I knew about myself.

Laken “Ace” Thomas

Our management knows better than to schedule shows on my birthday. When they cross that line, I don’t get ready to entertain our screaming fans–I try to drown my demons in tequila. Instead of sending me to rehab, management pays for a string of live-in babysitters. It never takes much to get them fired until a blond-haired, blue-eyed beefcake moves in. He’s immune to my antics, and his sunny personality is a beacon cutting through the darkness of my past. My love is toxic, and I have the ghosts to prove it, but he refuses to leave, even if it means he’s going to drown with me.
