A morally gray fighter who doesn't ask permission. A sunshine accountant who thinks being alone is all he deserves. And a threat that's going to make them face every lie they’ve told themselves.

Esteban "Suerte" Vega doesn’t do relationships. He’s been telling himself that for three years while he quietly watches Eli across the gym. Three years of morning runs through Eli’s neighborhood. Three years of morning coffee at the café right across from Eli’s bedroom window. Three years of pretending that his sunshine accountant isn’t everything he needs in his life.

Elias “Eli” Foster has been alone for most of his life, even when his family was right there beside him, and he’s accepted that. He’s got his friends and his CPA practice. His life is pleasantly full. Until three years ago, when he watched Esteban step into the cage for the first time. And he hasn’t been able to look away since.

Eli walks through life believing the world is basically good because for him it always has been. Suerte comes from a world where darkness wins more often than not, especially in his life. But when Eli’s world is shaken to the core and everything he thought he knew about himself changes, Esteban’s done pretending he can keep his distance. He’s about to find out he’s willing to cross every boundary he’s ever made to keep Eli safe.

Through it all, one thing remains true. Always bet on the dark horse.
