    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has learned that nothing is free--not shelter, not food, not kindness. Every favor comes with a price, and his body is the only currency he has. When a brutal night on the streets of Montreal puts him in the path of Shane Hollander, a wealthy stranger who refuses payment for his help, Ilya doesn't trust it. He trusts transactions. He trusts survival. Shane Hollander has spent his life being careful--about his image, his future, and the expectations attached to his last name. As the heir to a powerful corporation, there is no room in his world for scandal, much less for falling in love with someone society would rather pretend doesn't exist. As Shane and Ilya are drawn together, what begins as guarded proximity turns into something neither of them can afford. Ilya and Shane must decide whether love is worth the cost--and whether they're willing to risk everything for it.
