First book

Dr. Ángel Garcia

Angel Garcia

165cm, the eldest son of Guatemalan immigrants, just graduated medical school and is barely scraping by as a junior pediatric resident. With his sister’s college tuition hanging in the balance, he signs up for an escort site — not expecting his first client to be the new CEO of the hospital where he works.

Caroline McKenna

178cm, has taken over a hospital in critical condition — and to make things worse, she’s been invited to a glamorous donor gala where her date could make or break her reputation and the future of the hospital. In a moment of wine-fueled desperation, she uses GentlemanOnLoan.com to hire an escort… without reading his stats.

Spicy Chapters
