His to Protect

Alec paints seven-foot iguanas eating chocolate cake and bakes cobbler for a man he’s not supposed to have feelings for.

Camden folds towels that aren’t his, memorizes how Alec takes his cold brew, and has been falling for a client since the first time a blueberry bounced off his chest.

They have a system. Camden shows up for Alec’s heats, the sex is incredible, and nobody talks about feelings. The kissing is just biology. The lingering is just hormones. The way Camden cuts cheese into perfectly even slices is just good motor skills.

Then a dangerous figure from Alec’s past resurfaces with threats that could destroy everything he’s built, and the professional framework they’ve been hiding behind shatters. Camden has to decide if he’s a provider or a protector. Alec has to decide if letting someone in is worth the risk of being broken again.

A high-heat M/M omegaverse romance featuring an artist who talks to his paintings, an ex-cop heat companion, and the world’s most chaotic path from “mouths in proximity” to “I love you.” Content warnings: on-page domestic violence, blackmail/extortion, revenge porn threats, past abusive relationship, explicit sexual content including knotting.
