Fight or Flight

Jace lives by two rules: he does what he wants, and anyone in his way can go to hell. He never backs down from a challenge, and for three years Shane has been the biggest one. Needling Shane is fun, and their fights are among the few times Jace feels anything.

Jace is sure Shane is less straight than he believes. Shane wants him but does not want to want him. Then the two frat brothers are forced to work together to steal blackmail files from a rival frat.

The more time they spend side by side, the more their fights turn into foreplay. Jace likes watching Shane lose control, and likes even more that no one else sees it. He has stopped merely wanting Shane. He has claimed him.

This is the third book in a dark romance series set at an elite, invite-only college, with not-so-secret societies in the background. It is a rivals to lovers story between two men, with a bi awakening, forced proximity and hurt/comfort. Heat is high, with primal play, domination and bratting, mild knifeplay, mild CNC and implied dubcon. The heroes are morally ambiguous and one is fiercely protective.
