STEM gets steamy when this coder starts sexting to pay the bills . . .
When Lark loses her job as the only woman coder at her firm, she's devastated. It was meant to be her dream job. But now she's broke, jobless, and has no idea how to pay her rent.
When a friend suggests text message-based sex work as a stopgap between jobs, Lark is dubious. She's all about sex positivity, but carrying out sexual fantasies—even digitally and anonymously—with complete strangers is daunting. How will she explain how she's earning a living—especially to Toby, her good friend and long-time unrequited crush?
But Lark is desperate, and as she tries (and fails miserably a few times), she starts to actually enjoy her new job. Especially working with one charming and nerdy client, who she enjoys talking to more than she'd like to admit.
But as Lark and Toby grow closer, she finds herself with a decision to make: tell Toby she's a sex worker, and try to forget the anonymous client who has her struggling to separate work from real feelings, or keep the secrets that are piling up in her inbox . . .

About the Author
Amber Roberts writes contemporary romance about unabashedly nerdy characters in ridiculous situations. She lives with her husband, two children, and formerly feral cats in the Vermont woods, where eating maple creemees is a year-round activity. She spends her time copywriting, forgetting to water her plants, and awkwardly replying "you too" at inappropriate moments.
