What if one night with a stranger unlocks everything you’ve been hiding?
Price of Desire is a bold, deeply sensual M/M escort romance exploring forbidden longing, emotional healing, and the cost of living a lie.

Luke Carter has built the perfect life—or so it seems. A successful CEO with a beautiful family and an enviable reputation, he hides a truth that’s been buried for decades. When he hires Evan Steele, a rugged, confident escort, it’s supposed to be one night of escape.

Instead, it becomes a turning point.

Evan sees the man behind the mask—aching for real connection, intimacy, and self-acceptance. Their chemistry is magnetic. Their encounter, unforgettable.

But passion has a price. And for Luke, it might mean losing the only life he’s ever known.

This stand-alone M/M romance delivers:

✨ A powerful escort/client connection that flips the script

✨ Closeted desire and midlife awakening

✨ An intense, emotional first-time experience

✨ Raw chemistry, tender domination, and emotional vulnerability

✨ A journey from performance to authenticity
