Blurb: Brent Winton is doing all the wrong things for all the right reasons. Since the death of their parents years ago, Brent is helping his younger brother Zach through law school in sunny Queensland, Australia. The boys share a cheap flat, and Brent works two jobs to support them, but Zach thinks the second job is merely bar tending.
In reality Brent has turned to gay prostitution to ensure that Zach has all the best textbooks and the up-to-date laptop he needs so he can focus on his studies. When hot Russian refugee Dimitri moves in next door, Brent finds him mesmerizing, but fears that if he gets involved, Dimitri will expose Brent’s white lies.
But Dimitri has a dark secret of his own, and the question becomes how either of them can learn to trust the other without blowing their cover.

Review: I have read one other book by this author and I am amazed at his gift. I didn’t much care for the prostitution part of the book though. It actually made me not like the book as much. That however is probably the mom in me. However it shows how much love Brent had for his brother.
Brent wanted his brother Zach to have all of the good things he would need to go to school. He was working two jobs to get it all done. The problem was he was selling his body instead of working the bar. Then Dimitri moves in next door and Brent is captivated. However he is afraid that his secret would come out.
What he didn’t know was that Dimitri has his own secrets. Although I have to admit that what I thought Dimitri had done was not what I had expected.
It is a really great book although at points it is a bit confusing. One minute the book is normal, then it skips, then back to normal. Like the part that it skips is something important about the other person.
Although it doesn’t take away from the story at all. I had a blast reading it and look forward to reading some more by this author.
