🩰 Age Gap

🥊 Cheating

🩰 Forbidden

🥊 Bi-Awakening

🩰 Size Difference

🥊 Brother’s Stepson

🩰 Younger. Forbidden. Distracting. Male.

And on cusp of the comeback fight of a lifetime, Domenick Conner can’t get Cameron Stevens out of his head.

🥊 A decade after a brutal head injury took him out of a successful career in boxing, Domenick Connor moves home to train with his brother for a very public comeback. When Cameron Stevens dances into his life, Dom doesn’t understand the intense and undeniable pull to the much younger man. The desire knocks him off kilter and throws everything he’s ever known about himself into question. But that doesn’t stop Dom from watching, coveting, craving him…

🩰 Cameron Stevens is a perfectionist, fiercely dedicated to his craft, and already overwhelmed with the pressures of pleasing his overbearing boyfriend and boss. But when his new stepfather asks him to teach his brother ballet to help with balance and footwork for an upcoming boxing match, he can’t help but agree. The gruff boxer comforts and encourages him in a way that he’s never experienced before, and it draws him in like a moth to a flame.

🥊 As the unlikely pair navigate their intense chemistry, Cameron and Dom must decide whether to continue fighting the attraction between them, or fight for love instead.
