Publisher's Synopsis
In the crucible of boot camp, where bodies are broken and rebuilt, Ryan fights a battle he never expected: the war for his own heart. As sweat, discipline, and the raw masculinity of the barracks close in, a dangerous heat ignites within him, fueled by the enigmatic Derek Winters.
Every stolen glance, every accidental touch, threatens to shatter Ryan's carefully constructed walls, unleashing a desire that could cost him everything. In a world of rigid rules and unspoken truths, where survival depends on control, Ryan must confront the burning question: can he surrender to his forbidden longing without sacrificing his dreams?
