The ceilings are paper-thin, but the tension between them is thick enough to cut with a knife. Evan Torres is an introverted webcomic artist drowning in deadlines and the lingering sting of a bad breakup. When he moves into a cheap new apartment in a building that smells like old paint to focus on his art, he expects peace and quiet. Instead, he gets a front-row auditory seat to the very vocal, highly professional exploits of his upstairs neighbor. Nico Alvarez is a high-end escort who keeps his life ruthlessly compartmentalized. He sells the perfect companion experience to wealthy clients, keeping his authentic self locked firmly away. He never mixes business with his personal life, and he certainly doesn't get involved with flustered, ink-stained artists who blush when he says their name. But when a delivery mix-up brings Nico to Evan’s door, the polished professional and the chaotic creative collide. What starts as a stolen glance in a stairwell turns into midnight kitchen confessions and a dangerous, undeniable heat. Soon, Evan is unknowingly sketching his gorgeous neighbor into his webcomic, and Nico is dropping his flawless armor for the one man who refuses to pay for his time. As the boundaries between fantasy, art, and reality begin to shatter, Nico’s tightly controlled world threatens to drag them both under. Can two men who make a living selling fantasies figure out how to be real with each other, or will the truth break them apart? The Escort Upstairs is a steamy, high-heat MM contemporary romance featuring intense hurt/comfort and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
