Overview

Josha
Don’t fall in love with the boy next door.

Not when he’s the prodigal son of the family you’ve always wanted. Especially not when he’s straight, damaged, and hell-bent on ripping your heart out and running away. When lines get crossed and he disappears, I vow I’m done chasing an impossible dream. So why am I answering his call two years later and letting him drag me back into his games? And how can I resist when the lure he’s dangling is the one thing I’ve always wanted—him?

Don’t break your best friend’s heart.

Not when he’s the only perfect thing that’s ever loved you. Especially not when he makes you question everything you thought you knew about yourself. But all I do is drag him down with my addictions and the only way to save him is to let him go. So I run—only to realize the missing pieces of myself I’m chasing are shaped like him.

I haven’t earned another chance, but I’m begging for one anyway. It’s time to shed my shackles and swim in the sun, because becoming the man he deserves is the only way I’ll ever find my home.

Catcher's Lock is an 18+ MM childhood best friends-to-lovers romance with with a slow burn, a lot of angst, and mature content. Expect 1st person present tense, dual POV, and material that some readers may find sensitive. Full content notes included in the book and on my author website.

This is the third book in a series of interconnected standalones following a group of elite aerial circus athletes through their struggles to find unconventional love in unexpected places. It can be read on its own but includes minor spoilers for book 2, Unlocked Dive. Catcher's Lock ends with a HEA.
