Gluttony
He’s been overindulging to forget… she’s learned to survive by holding back… but love demands something different from them both.
Everett Peters is no stranger to excess.
A retired boxer carrying the weight of betrayal, guilt, and everything he has tried to outrun, he has fallen into habits that do more harm than good. What started as a way to cope has turned into something harder to control.
Apryl Wilde lives differently.
Grounded, disciplined, and intentional, she has rebuilt herself after her own heartbreak. Where Everett indulges, Apryl restrains. Where he escapes, she endures.
Love is not something either of them is looking for.
Not now. Maybe not ever again.
But when their paths cross, what begins as a simple professional connection slowly becomes something neither of them expected. Something that challenges the way they think, the way they cope, and the way they protect themselves.
Because being together means confronting the parts of themselves they would rather avoid.
Everett must face the consequences of everything he has been using to numb his pain.
Apryl must decide if she is willing to let go of control long enough to truly feel again.
And both of them must answer the same question.
Is love something to be feared… or something worth surrendering to?
