Riptide

Some currents don’t pull you under—they drag you down willingly.

Douglas "Duke" Campbell’s life is spiraling. For weeks, he’s been hooking up with Evan—his best friend’s stepbrother—and discovering just how far he’ll go to feel wanted. But now, as he leaves town for a critical college swim meet, the weight of secrets, expectations, and desire is threatening to drown him.

Then he meets someone else.

Older. Harsher. More dangerous than anything Duke’s ever faced. The mysterious man at the hotel doesn’t ask—he commands. And Duke, aching for control he can’t reclaim, finds himself sinking fast into a game of humiliation, power, and need he never imagined craving.

A steamy MM college sports novel about a submissive jock, sexual exploration, and the intoxicating pull of humiliation and degradation. Part of The Redwood Chronicles, a series of interconnected but standalone queer stories packed with heat, tension, and messy relationships.
