Is sex enough? Can it evolve into love, or will a generous act return to kick Rob where it hurts? Robert may be gay, but he's a responsible adult and a dedicated businessman. He hesitates to hire Lee, the man who's applied for the position of PA at his firm, knowing how hard it will be to deny his attraction to the younger man. What's worse, his business partner's pressing Robert to rent a room to the new hire. But Lee hasn't been entirely honest with his new employers. He's trying to unravel the mysteries of his past, but instead, he falls for Robert. Lee knows Robert has feelings for him, but can he get the proper English gentleman to admit they might share more than lust? And what will happen when Robert discovers they share a past?

Well, many people felt awkward in an interview, especially with someone else in the room. He must also consider Lee’s age, even though a split second later, nothing about the young man screamed discomfort or youth as he marched across the room, maturity in his expression, moving with ease, the greeting effortless, the handshake warm and firm.
