The Money Shot

<p><strong>When life falls apart you get creative.</strong></p><p>New York was supposed to be my fresh start-a dream job a swanky apartment and two best friends to share it all with. Instead? One roommate got arrested my job disappeared and I've been fake-commuting to a job I don't have just to keep Jack my best friend and human lie detector from finding out I'm a total disaster.</p><p>But bills don't wait for paychecks and desperation makes you do wild things-like signing up for an explicit adult website and baring it all for strangers online. Just me a camera and enough cash rolling in to survive another month. No one was supposed to know.</p><p>Except Jack found out.</p><p>I braced for a lecture-or worse for him to leave. But then he did something I never saw coming. He joined me. For the money of course. Strictly professional.</p><p>Now we're filming together making scenes that are supposed to be an act... except it doesn't feel like one. Not when he looks at me like that. Not when I can't stop imagining what might happen if we turned off the camera and let it all be real.</p><p>This wasn't part of the plan. Falling for your best friend never is. But maybe just maybe we're writing a script better than anything we could've faked.</p><p><br> </p>
