As long as they’re both clear this is sex on the side, no relationship, no interfering with the job, they could make it work. Shut out Continue Reading

Trust the Focus by Megan Erickson (In Focus #1) Released: March 17, 2015 New Adult M/M Romance Intermix Reviewed by Mandi I'm always on the lookout for a well done new adult book and now I can add Megan Erickson to the list.
