Bisexual YouTuber Noah Perrin had everything he could dream of. His channel was thriving, and his ten-year relationship with his boyfriend Hugo was rock solid–or so he believed until Hugo dumped him.
Completely lost, Noah watched as his life began to fall apart–until one phone call to his best friend and ex-lover Adrien Dupuis changed everything.
Would Noah expose himself to more pain by moving in with Adrien—a man he’d always desired but could never have—a man already tied to somebody else?
Noah would have never guessed he’d find support in a woman from Adrien’s entourage—a woman who makes him an offer he cannot refuse—a chance to finally be himself, to finally be happy.
Was this offer the opportunity he’d always dreamed of or was it just another dream meant to fail and break his heart?

But without a mate, he’s been wandering the woods for years, aimless and untethered. When he feels an unnatural pull, he follows it blindly, straight into civilization and a life he’s never thought to dream of.
When Vale Valley’s magic brings this unlikely pair together, it gives new meaning to watching what you wish for.

Raised and trained by The Asylum Fight Club’s most infamous owner, Reed Dane is almost untouchable. Might sound dope, but there are disadvantages to his ‘privileged’ status. His guardian’s reputation makes a serious relationship impossible—turns out the club’s members are addicted to breathing—and the one man Reed truly wants sees him only as a stray his former lover brought home.
An endless string of one-night stands lacks the intimacy Reed craves, but at least edgy post-fight hookups distract him from what he’ll never have. Until he takes a wrecking ball to the walls that set him apart.
Curtis Smith is a lot of things—MMA fighter, club owner…son of a drug lord—but one thing he’s not is prepared to face temptation exploding past his carefully built boundaries. Reed is forbidden, to him most of all, but resisting what they both want becomes impossible with the sub challenging him at every turn. And with his past threatening everything The Asylum has been built to protect, Curtis can’t afford to be addicted to Reed’s brand of candy coated sin.
He can’t deny himself one taste before his stolen time runs out. Because when it does, all that will be left behind for Reed is a memory…
And his heart.
