Looking For It
Allyson Lindt - 2019
But when the guy I’ve crushed on for ages stumbles on my stash of toys, and offers to teach me how much fun they are with a partner, there’s no way I’m saying no. Especially when his boyfriend wants to watch. It's just a one-time thing, though. Which is good, because I need headspace to focus on the Hollywood designer who’s trying to scam me and others like me out of our hard-earned money. She’s making my life a living hell for exposing her to the internet. Jax and Grayson offer a tempting distraction by exposing me. In my bedroom. At a company holiday party…If I can’t unravel how I feel about them, and sift through the Hollywood-style legal trouble we’ve brought crashing down around us, the only things I’ll be getting for Christmas are a broken career and a shattered heart.
