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?

An Act of Generosity

Finding the handle, Lee opened the door, and then made his way along the hall, blinking, still trying to open his eyes and locate a light switch. He gave up, making his way in the gloom.


Relieved, Lee flushed, remembered to wash his hands, surprised to find a clean towel on the rail before stumbling back out and down the hall. Sudden light blinded him.
