First - K.C. Wells

Some temptations don't just make you burn-they make you brave enough to reach.

Tommy Newsome is nineteen, standing inside his first gay bar, heart pounding and palms slick, and one wrong move away from bolting back to his truck.

Then the bartender looks up.

Mike Scott smiles like he knows exactly what Tommy's thinking-and exactly what he wants. As Scott Masters, he's spent twenty years being watched, desired, and consumed. He knows confidence when he sees it... and he knows raw, shaking need when it walks up to his bar and can barely get out the words, "Uh. Beer. Please."

Mike shouldn't flirt. The age gap is dangerous. The innocence is tempting in all the wrong ways. And Mike has sworn-repeatedly-that he's done picking men who remind him how badly he can want something that won't last.

This is a moment. A choice. And maybe the kind of risk that changes everything.

Because Tommy didn't come to Woofs looking for a hookup.

He came looking for himself.
And Mike might finally be ready to stop performing and start living.
