"I never forgot about you."

Five years ago, Zeph was an orphan with something to prove and ghosts from his past. When he met River, the intimacy was too much-after ten days of dating, he fled to the Midwest to train at a pro MMA gym. But now he's back... and River still makes his heart skip a beat.

Drag queen and makeup artist River is quick to put up walls, but Zeph has always found a way through them. With a stalker lurking in the shadows, River wants a security guy for his upcoming drag show in LA and Vegas. Who better than a tattooed MMA fighter who still gives him smoldering looks?

The trip means they have ten more days to get it out of their systems. But before long, they're fighting to keep this from becoming more. It's easy to get hard, and hard to be easy. As they grow more vulnerable than ever before, can they really put their lives-and hearts-in each other's hands?

Freak is the second book in the F-Word series, which features queer found families, characters choosing their own labels, a lot of trans joy, opposites attracting, spice for days, and the happily-ever-afters we all deserve. This novel can be read as a standalone.
