Too Dear for Deer by Ki Brightly

The Titan of Industry Who Can Find Anything
Scott Cairns is a businessman who gives the wealthy what they want. And if that thing happens to be illegal? Who cares? His biggest client is the one he owes his life to—Sloan Killough from the Killough Company. Working for the mob isn’t new, but it makes Scott hesitant to start a relationship. Then, he meets Deer at a bar searching for a man to solve all his problems. Deer doesn’t share a lot about his past, and Scott doesn’t ask. Instead, he puts a time limit on their relationship. He’ll fix Deer’s woes . . . if Deer relieves his. He only has Deer for a month and plans to make the most of it.

The Lost Man
Diarmuid “Deer” Killough is an outsider. His mom only cares about herself, and when she notices her children, her attention focuses on Deer’s younger brother. His uncle and older brother—the only other close relatives he has—want nothing to do with him. When he starts running into money issues, he uses his best friend’s advice and goes looking for a man with deep pockets. He gets so much more in Scott.

When A Simple Transaction Becomes Love
As Deer and Scott navigate their developing feelings, they struggle to open their hearts, especially when each holds a secret. Getting close shouldn’t be an option, but it’s hard to fight the emotions that begin to form. What happens when they find out the truth about each other?
