Dr. Edward Atherton has been content to throw himself into his work as a scientist and hasn't been concerned about a relationship--or sex. But when his sister tells him he simply can't become a 30-year-old virgin, he decides to make something happen. And against his better judgment, he picks up a rentboy on the street. Fox Baillie does more than help Eddie lose his virginity; he helps him find a whole new way to look at life. So Eddie seeks him out again. But Fox has secrets of his own, and demands on him that he doesn't think Eddie could ever understand. When Fox steals Eddie's laptop only to return it later and apologize, Eddie decides he can forgive him. But if he finds out the truth, will he still allow Fox in his life? And what about if he learns that both their lives are now in danger?

While this was an interesting read, there were some parts of it that were extremely over-the-top for me to the point of being almost unbelievable. So I just couldn't get into it as much as I would have liked. ( )

Book description
Knowing he is gay, but nerdy and extremely shy, scientist Dr. Edward Atherton, is out looking for his first sexual encounter in order to avoid being a 30 year old virgin, and because he desperately wants sex with a man. With his birthday fast approaching he goes in search of a prostitute.

The young Goth he meets in a back alley in Soho, London, was not exactly what he had in mind, but he soon finds himself in bed with Fox Baillie having the sexiest time of his life. When he wakes up to find Fox gone and with him Edward’s computer he feels embarrassed and used, but still he cannot get the skinny, pale young man with the black hair and eye makeup out of his mind. He finds Fox once again in the alley and is treated to a hand job up against the grimy wall.

The last thing Fox expected when he was ordered by his ex-military father to seduce Dr. Atherton and steal computer with its valuable information was that he would actually find the dude sexy and enjoy the encounter. Ignoring the danger from his brutal father he continues to seek out Eddie to continue what they started.
