Temporary Affair — E.A. Reynolds

Asher "Ash" Davies has been called a romantic who knows how to bring couples together. However, having been hurt, he's determined to keep his heart as far away from the fires of love and romance as he can, condemning himself to loneliness. Cortez "Cort" Grays is the advertising mastermind behind Ash's company, and he's been in love with Ash for nearly as long as he's known him. Still, he refuses to make any moves until one night of sensual heat makes him realize a temporary affair might be the key into Ash's life. Ash has been able to fight the attraction between them, but watching Cort flirt with another man forces Ash to realize the time has come to purge Cortez from his system with a fling. However, he quickly realizes that his past hurts are no match for the healing balm of love.
