    About this ebook

    Jared might be stuck in an unfulfilling job, but he knows what he wants to be doing. He also knows who he wants to be with -- Tara, a.k.a. The Goth Girl Next Door he’s fantasized about for years. He’s not bothered by their age difference, but everyone else seems to be. Tara thinks he’s just a plaything, his brother thinks she’s a witch, and his parents think she’s trouble.

    Jared thinks she’s perfect.

    Tara loves her job as a sex streamer, but since quarantine, she’s tired of flying solo. Then she teams up with her zygote of a neighbor, and her tips soar. So does her pleasure, yet she keeps swiping, searching for a mature, responsible LTR-worthy man.

    Jared’s convinced he’s everything she needs, but can they keep their relationship hot without their passion self-destructing?
