Making Money in Shibuya

Between the bright lights and dark alleys of Shibuya, two souls intertwine in a dance of risk and romance. Kai is imminently screwed. A service job and a risky resume of tagging gigs is not enough to keep a guy going in Shibuya, Japan, much less make tuition in the premier art program that could elevate his passion to a workable living. Debts growing and the notion of crawling back to his abusive homelife more and more inevitable, he needs to come up with a way to make money, fast. When Kai comes across the website of a dubious companion service, it seems like he may have found his save. Escort work is dangerous, but Kai can handle hanging with some rando long enough to get paid, right? But then Kai receives an offer—one far above his asking price. Joza is the exact type of client Kai dreaded: suspicious, flirtatious, and pretentious to extremes. Even as the man grates on him, Kai finds him strangely compelling, a fellow artist trapped in a cycle of non-starters whose isolating life rings familiar. Joza has his own secrets, though, and each new revelation sends up red flags. As yakuza-like music teachers, mysterious phone calls, and Joza’s secret history complicate his growing attraction, will this dubious contract be worth risking Kai’s heart? Get your copy today and unravel the intrigue and temptation of Kai's uncertain new world.
