Chasing Benedict. The Gentleman Courtesans

He built a world where desire was currency-until love came calling with a debt of its own. Benedict Sterling founded The Gentleman Courtesans to ensure security-for himself and the friends who've become his family. But as the agency's success grows, so does the threat of exposure. A relentless gossip columnist has uncovered secrets that could destroy everything Benedict has built-including the truth he's guarded most closely: the one about his heart.
Enter Lord Alexander Osborne, Earl of Vautrey-the only man Benedict has ever loved, and the one who broke him. Now, after years apart, Alex returns to London determined to win him back. But Benedict has changed. Hardened. Guarded. And he isn't willing to risk his heart again. To stay close, Alex makes a bold offer: a contract, one that makes Benedict his courtesan in name and duty. For now, Alex will take what he can get.
But he won't stop until he's reclaimed the man he once lost-body, heart, and soul. With the past threatening to repeat itself and a scandal looming on every page of the press, Benedict must decide if love is worth risking everything. Because for the first time in his life, it's not his body on the line-it's his heart.
