Don’t breathe. Don’t think. Just sink.
A motto I’d chanted nearly every day of my life, content to bask in the serenity of the water surrounding me. That was until I’d lost control. I’d lost in the hands of nature, finding myself clawing my way through the ocean current and, in turn, every second of my life thereafter.
I hated not having control. It would eat me up inside. Everything had to be perfect, or my entire life would go up in ruins. One wrong move. One wrong night. One person could change everything. Just like Forrest Castillo—the only man I’d ever thought about giving all my control to.

Forrest Castillo
When I walked into Driftwood Jack’s, I hadn’t expected to go home with the owner. I also wasn’t expecting to like him so much. Thankfully, I could handle rejection. Because Jack kept rejecting me, but we also kept running into each other. I called it fate, and he called it a coincidence.
Sure didn’t feel like a coincidence whenever he leaned into the hand I had around his throat. But what would I know?
I just knew Jackson Manning desperately wanted to give himself to me. He kept saying he couldn’t, yet wouldn’t explain why.
None of that mattered, though. I had enough patience and determination for both of us. And I sure as hell wasn’t going to give up.

The Intimacy of Control is an MM hurt/comfort one-night stand turned more romance, featuring a man terrified of romance and a man who’s…apparently not afraid of anything.
