Obsession by Emily Blythe

The first time I met Julian I was almost arrested for crashing his party and stealing his wallet. Not exactly the first impression I was aiming for.
The second time was at a cocktail mixer–my first gig as a paid escort for an elite dating agency in New York. By then I was sure this guy thought I was a total psycho. But for some reason, he picked me.
Me. A clumsy, naive, and totally out of my depth twenty-two-year-old who’d grown up in a hippy commune. We couldn’t be more different. He was driven, conservative, a buttoned-up suit.
Or so I thought.
That night, that room, that party. It changed everything I knew about myself. . . and him.
If I was out of my depth before, it was nothing compared to the world I’d just discovered.
The underbelly of the New York social scene made me balk, yet reeled me in with every sultry glance, with every breathless sigh that escaped his lips.
And before I knew it, I was taking part. I couldn’t help myself.
I couldn’t help but pick him.
