Matt Dorning likes his life just the way it is.

And Matt also knows that his time with Lucas won’t last forever - escorts have a certain shelf life where he’s concerned. So what happens when the man who doesn’t ‘do’ relationships, starts to question his life? Lucas is about to embark on a journey of self discovery…and Matt’s life is about to get messy… 65,000 words Although this is part of the Material World series, it is a stand alone novella.
