My childhood was the stuff of nightmares. And adulthood? Hasn’t been a whole lot better. I’ve been working as a male escort to put myself through nursing school. I’m so close to getting out when a client’s husband catches us in the act. He tries to blackmail me, threatening to ruin me if I don't help him win his messy divorce case. When I refuse to do what he’s asking, he decides he’ll take my body instead. It’s what I’m used to. It’s what I’m good at. He gives me the pain I’ve been craving. But I don't know what to do when he decides he wants my heart.
