Overview

On the mat, control is everything.

Off it, surrender feels like salvation.

Lincoln Beckett has built his life on a foundation of discipline, perfection, and control. As the captain of Huntston University’s wrestling team, he never slips, never yields. Until a new transfer student walks in and unravels everything.

Brody Miller’s transfer to Huntston means facing a reputation he can’t escape and a family crisis he refuses to expose. He hides it all behind a carefree smirk, sharp wit, and a cocky confidence that gets under Beck’s skin—and into his head.

What begins as a volatile rivalry turns into something far more dangerous—a secret, forbidden power game played behind closed doors. On the mat, Beck is always in charge. Off it, he finds himself kneeling to his teammate’s will.

As their carefully built facades start to collapse, their secrets threaten everything Brody has left, and everything Beck is terrified to lose.
