Prologue

When I accepted a position managing two of the company's new male models, I was prepared for a challenge - but I didn't expect that challenge to include looking after two emotionally damaged young men who used sex as a coping mechanism. Jareka was standoffish while his partner Tareiji acted like an overgrown child. I'd been given twelve months to straighten out this troublesome pair, but their shared history, which they refused to divulge, caused more problems than even I knew how to handle. I wasn't sure twelve years would be enough time to turn them into successful models. Because there's just no way to rush a healing wound, especially if the mental wound runs deeper than the scars marring their bodies.
