Sometimes you're not ready for love
This is the story of a man who couldn't get it up and a woman who'd never got it on.
Privately wealthy, tech company CEO, Owen Lange lost the woman he'd planned to marry in a freak car accident. Four years later he almost lost his own life in a smash that hospitalized him with a spinal injury. A stalled recovery and an addiction to pain medication threatened to rob him of his career and challenged everything he believed about himself.
As a teenager, Cara Douglas put blisters, sprains and physical perfection before boys and kisses. But her dream of being on the US Olympics gymnastics team ended when she broke her back. She'd never be pain free again, and though she refused to be defined by her damaged body, she gave up on chasing her dream of being a costume designer.
Thrown together by concerned friends what's meant as support, veers into suspicion and dislike, but as Owen stumbles towards his recovery he realizes the one person who can help him keep it real is the woman who best understands his pain and won't let him get away with his privilege.

Beneath the Mask
Isla Monroe was never one to let her guard down. A woman of control, of power, of calculated moves. She built an empire on her ability to stay distant, detached from the world, locked in her own fortress of wealth and success. But behind that cold exterior, there was something darker, something buried deep within her-a hunger she never let anyone see. Vito Vance had no such barriers. He was a man who thrived on chaos, who reveled in the masks he wore for the world to see. A notorious pornstar by day, a reckless, manipulative force by night, he had the kind of power that made people crave him while simultaneously fearing him. But Vito didn't just play with fire-he lived in it. Their paths crossed in the most unlikely of places-a strip club in the dead of night, where identities didn't matter, where people came to forget themselves. For Isla, it was supposed to be a brief escape, a fleeting moment of distraction. For Vito, it was just another night in a world he owned. But the night they met was the beginning of something neither of them could have predicted. A night that would unravel their carefully constructed lives, expose the vulnerability neither of them was willing to admit, and ignite a passion neither was prepared for. Their story would be one of tension, of smoldering attraction, of games played in the shadows. And for the first time in her life, Isla Monroe would find herself in a position where she had no control, no walls to hide behind. And neither would Vito. --- This book is inspired by the song "Pornstar" by Nessa Barrett and a BL manhwa called "BJ Alex." pc; pinterest
