Lingerie
Jason Collins - 2019
Braden’s not the straight guy I thought he was. He’s cut from a different cloth, and he fits me like a glove. We have one important thing in common: lingerie. He’s my designer, and I’m his model. Braden knows exactly how to handle the contours of my body—especially the tight spots. But his brand needs a publicity boost, and he’s asking for my marketing expertise. When sales start to rise, it means my time with Braden might be coming to an end. I can’t be a consultant for Braden’s love life, especially not if I want to be woven into it. His designs are revealing, but I want to see every last inch. BRADEN: In my line of work, business can be pleasure. Sales are down, but Alex’s gorgeous assets are keeping me up. He not only knows how to market lingerie—he knows how to wear it. And he’s proposing a deal: he’ll help bring my shop back to life in exchange for a custom set of lingerie. The best part? He wants to model it for me. Alex is the first man I’ve met who likes to slip into my designs, and they fit him perfectly. I’ll make sure they’re a snug fit, but if they’re too tight for Alex, I can always make some hands-on adjustments. The only thing standing between us is silk. Note to readers: This is an extra spicy standalone MM romance, heat level 10. Readers can expect several steamy scenes that will leave you breathless.
