"They shouldn't want each other. That's why they do."

CHOKEHOLD

A Dark MM Romance by Leigh Rivers & Harleigh Beck

Two masks. One chase. A desire they were never meant to touch.

THE FORBIDDEN GAME

They were supposed to be enemies — rivals bound by resentment, distance, and the complicated tangle of their shared family.

But one night changes everything.

A masked stranger.

A dangerous game in the dark.

A breathless, anonymous kiss that neither of them can forget.

Now all they crave is more — the next hunt, the next hit of adrenaline, the next taste of the man they're not allowed to want.

What began as a forbidden thrill sharpens into obsession, pulling them toward each other with a gravity neither can escape.

There's only one problem:

They both have girlfriends.

The bigger problem? They're stepbrothers.

As their secret chases drag them deeper into temptation, desire blurs every line between right and wrong… until the truth detonates and forces them to face what they've become to each other.
