Description
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.
Please note: this is a M/M Romance

Hold onto your heart, because Making Money in Shibuya by Amanda Parsons will sweep you off your feet! From the moment I started reading, I was hooked by the electrifying chemistry between Kai and Joza. The bright lights of Shibuya serve as the backdrop for a love story that's as risky as it is passionate.
Kai's determination to escape his past and make a better life for himself is so relatable, and I found myself cheering him on every step of the way. And then there's Joza – the enigmatic and alluring client who turns Kai's world upside down. Their interactions are filled with tension, vulnerability, and unexpected surprises that kept me glued to the pages.
