Milan

Jace came to Milan for a paid week in a designer's showroom and the chance, if his shoulder holds, to walk in a real presentation. On his first afternoon he holds a street door shut against a man who wants a young model's phone, and the man reads Jace's name off his garment bag before he leaves.The model is Tommaso. The phone holds messages somebody would kill to get back. Two nights later, outside the kitchen of a private members' dinner, the driver who promised to take Tommaso home is shot dead in the service yard, and Jace is the one holding the door.Then the company that hosted the dinner sends its founder from London: polished, attentive, and offering paid work in Paris that Jace badly wants. Khalil flies in on his own commission and finds Jace locking every door twice. Every yes Jace gives comes with something he isn't saying, and the man with the gray van still knows exactly where he sleeps.Between the fittings, the showroom and the neighbors across the landing, Jace has to decide what he is willing to lose, and who he will let take the risk for him, when the door finally gives.MILAN is an adult erotic thriller with explicit scenes between men.
