Ash

Working as a consort has been a respectable profession for close to a century now, and while I didn't exactly sit around dreaming about this profession in my youth, when dad died and I suddenly had to care for not just myself but my younger sister as well...let's just say sometimes we stumble onto a path by accident.

My clients are mostly regulars, so I don't have to deal with many weird surprises, but they make enough new client referrals to keep things interesting. I've done well enough for myself that several years back I was able to purchase a small house with a yard outside the city, and my work apartment is in an upscale part of town. All things considered, at 36, I love my life. I have my work and my books and my plants, and I'm happy. I've never felt like I've missed out on anything life has to offer...accept a new assistant.

I definitely need to find a new assistant.

Jesse

I come from a family of farmers, but I’ve always felt like I have more to offer. When I’d told my family that I wanted to go to medical school instead of staying on the farm, they’d hugged me, supported me, and told me they were sure that I was going to be a success no matter what path I followed. They’d saved every penny they could, and had somehow been able to send me off to the city with my tuition and expenses fully paid. Only, it turns out the city is more expensive than we'd expected and I don’t have the heart to tell them even with all they’ve given me I can’t quite afford things like...well…food…

When I saw the help wanted listing, the money and hours made it seem like someone had miraculously created a job posting exclusively for me.

Now if only I knew how to be a consort's assistant...

Sebastian Garcia has everything figured out. He's worked hard, and has built a good life for himself.

With a lot of effort and a bit of luck, he's now a successful young psychologist with a stable career, a comfortable home, and a supportive family.

Everything is going according to plan until a run of the mill psychological interview leads him down a very unexpected path....

Getting pressured into an undercover mission? Not part of the plan.

Months on end in a dingy hotel room with only a felon for company? Not part of the plan.

Falling in love? NOT part of the plan!

Kayden Thompson is guilty. No one believes that more deeply than Kayden himself.

He spends his days replaying the moments that led to his current incarceration (complete with twenty-five year sentence), and every time he comes to the same conclusion; he deserves every minute of it.

When a government agent offers him freedom in exchange for assistance, Kayden feels he's being let off too easy.

When he finds himself stuck playing the role of undercover partner to that same agent, he just might have to admit he's not quite the villain he believes himself to be.

When two vastly different men are forced together, the result is something neither of them could ever have expected.
