Calendar girl 4

Yes, there are 3 novels before. If you have not read them, we recommend that you do it before taking this one and that you turn the air conditioning down to 7º or 8º, although we do not guarantee that you will not burn with Mia's hot stories. She is a young woman forced to work as a escort girl but who, instead of the harsh reality of prostitution, lives incredible fairy tales in the bed of gorgeous millionaires who are also gods of sex.
