We’re stuck together during a cycle that won’t let us stop touching.
Caleb Ward doesn’t lose control.
That’s the whole point of him. Conservation officer, solo lookout rotations, a man who chose mountaintops over people because solitude was safer than intimacy. He’s carried a dormant gene since he was eighteen and never thought twice about it — until a stranger hikes into his cabin during a storm and something in Caleb’s biology wakes up and decides it’s done being dormant.
Owen Brooks didn’t plan on being essential.
He’s a grad researcher, storm-stranded, practical to a fault. When Caleb’s rut cycle activates — 48 to 72 hours of escalating biological need with waves that come faster and hit harder every time — Owen does what Owen does: he assesses the situation, designs a protocol, and takes control. What he doesn’t plan for is how much he likes it. The power. The sounds Caleb makes. Being the only thing between a man and his breaking point.
The waves don’t stop. They get closer. Harder. More desperate. And somewhere between the first frantic touch and the fifth time Caleb says stay like it’s the only word he has left, this stops being survival and starts being something neither of them can walk away from.
He needed me every forty-five minutes. Then he needed me all the time. Then the cycle ended and he needed me anyway.
BREEDING SEASON — a high-heat MM romance about losing control, finding surrender, and the man who makes both feel safe.

Chapter 1: Caleb
The mountains didn’t give a shit about you, and that was the best thing about them.
No opinions. No expectations. No concerned looks across a dinner table from someone trying to figure out why you wouldn’t let them stay the night. Just granite and pine and the kind of silence that settled into your bones like cold water—shocking at first, then the only temperature that made sense.
Chapter 1 teaser abbreviated through lookout arrival and figure-on-trail scene. Full chapter available in the published novel.

Second Cycle — A scene TOO HOT for Amazon
Three months after the mountain, Owen wakes up to Caleb burning with a fever that has nothing to do with the flu. The cycle is back — shorter, sharper, and this time Caleb doesn’t fight it. This time he asks. The hottest, most possessive chapter in the series — and it’s yours free.
