It’s a contemporary romance, set in NYC, high steam and some kinks involved, decently written and on the lengthier side. The hero is filthy rich and in his 30s; heroine is 18/19 but acts rather mature for her age. She is working in his office … Continue reading HaBO: Age Gap Romance But They’re Both Wealthy →
