Summary
Isolated on a secluded property in the Hollywood Hills, Jared and his adopted siblings were raised by a strict nanny and tutors, on the instruction of their often-absent wealthy, religious parents. Jared spent his childhood running away to play in the vineyards and wide open fields of the monastery-cum-seminary school next door, and to Jared, entering the seminary school at eighteen seemed like the perfect way to escape his stifling home. But Father Michael believes Jared needs to live a little before he’ll be ready to take his final vows, so he sends him to work in West Hollywood for a year, at a drop-in and outreach center run by former priest Jeff Morgan. There, Jared meets Jensen, a twenty-year-old hooker who’s been working the streets since he was kicked out of home five years ago. The two become fast friends and Jared soon finds himself questioning everything he always thought to be true about himself.
Title is from a quote by Marilyn Monroe: “Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.”

Summary
Jared has never been happier. He’s come to terms with his sexual orientation and he feels free to discover who he really is and what he wants to do with his life. Sure, there is the scandal surrounding his famous father’s arrest for soliciting a minor and the very public breakdown of his parents’ marriage, but so long as obsessively private Jensen doesn’t find out that Jared has famous parents, it shouldn’t interfere with Jared’s new life too much. Jensen is still sleeping with other men for money, and his animosity toward religion is a lot deeper and more intense than Jared first realized, but so long as Jared has Jensen’s heart, what could possibly go wrong?
Being in a relationship is new for Jensen. It takes trust, and that doesn't come easily to him. He’s happy though, despite his growing list of problems. VIP client Sebastian Roche still thinks Jensen is his boyfriend; Jensen has a retaliatory beating from Pellegrino’s goons hanging over his head; and, thanks to a random act of kindness he showed to a homeless addict, he seems to have earned himself the little sister he never wanted. Still, so long as he can trust Jared with his heart, what could possibly go wrong?
As is happens, almost everything.Series
