[Sold by Chapter] Heartthrob for Hire

Kate has long insisted on being celibate, and at this point even her family suspects she's gay. But one day she saves Roy, a handsome former football star, and as it turns out, Roy has a new vocation: working as a gigolo! Since she doesn't have a lover to show off to her parents, Roy suggests he hire her to play the role of her doting boyfriend. Tired of her family's concerns about her love life, she makes an agreement with Roy and takes him home to Mom and Dad. Kate promises herself she won't actually get involved with him, but her heart has other ideas...
