Gordon’s sexy contemporary romance pairs opposites who must navigate their unanticipated attraction. When law student Everly Parker drops her books in her favorite Toronto cafe, the gorgeous man who helps her is Max Levin, the vice president of White Lace Productions, a porn film company. Though Everly is determined to finish her last semester of law school, she decides to try something new and bravely goes on a date—with Max. As one date turns into more, Everly is shocked to learn that Max is interested in her for more than just sex, and suddenly she isn’t sure whether she wants to fulfill her parents’ wishes to become a lawyer. As Everly questions her career choice, Max debates whether to follow his father’s path and become the president of White Lace. Explicit, sizzling sexual scenes are plentiful, but Gordon makes it clear that the attraction between Everly and Max goes much deeper than the physical allure. Agent: Victoria Lowes, Bent Agency.
