Roland Marcus--rich, handsome and pushing 40--is still not over the fact that his 20-year relationship has ended, and desperately needs someone to distract him while he attends a bevvy of charity events in New York. With all eyes upon him, including his ex's (who left him for a younger man), Roland accidentally bumps into a hot young guy in a used book store...a strapping male hustler whom he decides to hire for one week to accompany him to his social events. He offers him $5,000, with no strings attached, to just stand by his side and look pretty.Josh Holden, a young guy who is helping to support his son and saving money to buy a business with his best friend and ex-wife, is only too happy to escort Roland anywhere he wants to go that week. And he's not doing it just for the money...Roland learns in less than a week's time that his future can still hold both earth-shattering sex and a love of real substance.
