Sultry

Zane

The summer was supposed to be simple. Lifeguarding shifts, saving money for college, and surviving my grandmother’s matchmaking without telling her I liked boys, not girls. Then Chris walked into my life. He was older, rich, married, and straight, so untouchable in every way. I knew I shouldn’t want him, but the more time I spent with him, the more I saw the cracks in the life he’d built for himself. Every moment in his presence dragged me closer to a line I shouldn’t cross, and the more I tried to hide my secret from him, the more I had a feeling he could see it.

Chris

I’d spent my entire life making careful decisions, always certain of my choices and where they led. Successful business. Stable marriage. Everything I'd planned, I achieved. Then I met Zane. He was too young, too honest, and too alive, but being with him felt like stepping into the light after years spent in the dark. He looked at me as if he could see through every layer of restraint I’d exercised for so long, and what began as an unexpected friendship soon turned into something I couldn't understand. Something dangerous. Walking away from him was the only right thing to do. Except for the first time in my life, I realized I no longer wanted to do the right thing.

Sultry is a forbidden M/M romance about longing, guilt, desire, impossible choices, and the devastating realization that sometimes the right person walks into your life at the worst possible moment. This is book one of The Wrong Kind of Love series. Each book can be read as a standalone and features a different couple chasing their HEA.
