Deserves To Be Adored — T.A. Chase

Joey Santiago works for his uncle, the de facto leader of the Santiago crime family. His usual job is to drive escorts to and from their appointments with high-paying clients. He likes his duties well enough and doesn't judge the escorts for making money off sex. So when his uncle asks him to check on the welfare of Raleigh Patterson, one of the male escorts, Joey does as he's ordered without question, especially since he's grown fond of the attractive man.

Raleigh has been an escort for the Santiagos since he turned eighteen. They treat him well and he's even been able to put himself through college with the money he earns. But now that he's in his thirties, he worries that getting older will soon hurt his livelihood since many clients prefer young twinks. Plus, he's having difficulties with his homophobic family insisting he return home to Louisiana and take his place as the head of his mother's coven. When Raleigh refuses their demand, they resort to violence, kidnapping, and witchcraft to force him to change his mind.

When Joey discovers that Raleigh has been beaten, he can't stop himself from getting involved in the man's troubles. Even as the attraction between them grows, Raleigh and Joey must figure out a way to save Raleigh from the ruthless plots of the coven. And if they don't find a solution soon, Raleigh could lose everything he's come to cherish...including Joey.
