Cracks in His Armor: Straight to Gay MM Romance Part 1
D.J. Love
Travis McAllister is all muscle, control, and buried emotion. Bound by duty, he thrives on precision in the field, even if it means his personal life is littered with a string of failed relationships because the job always comes first. Working with a reckless, sharp-tongued analyst wasn’t in his plans. Neither was pretending to be his boyfriend. But the more time he spends with Cole, the harder it gets to keep his armor intact and hide from his own emotions.
Thrown into close quarters and even closer encounters, their clashing personalities give way to slow-burning chemistry neither man is ready to admit. But desire doesn’t wait for permission, and soon, their partnership begins to blur the lines between professional and personal.
As the case intensifies, secrets crack through Travis’s carefully guarded walls, and Cole’s façade begins to falter. Just when they finally stop running from what’s between them… one impulsive kiss threatens to ruin everything.
Will the mission slip through their fingers?
Part 1 ends on a cliffhanger—but the explosive conclusion lands next week (April 23, 2025).
