Ex with Benefits

At seventeen, I looked my best friend in the eye and lied well enough to make him hate me. I told myself I was protecting him.LEVIDom was the only person I ever let in. When I left to join my father's crime family, I knew he'd throw away his future to follow me, so I made him believe I wanted him left behind.Fifteen years later, a police raid kills the man running my father's Oregon territory, and I'm sent home to Cresson Point to take over. I plan to avoid Dom, but he tracks me down at my old thinking spot on the cliffs, bigger and angrier than I remember. Every time I try to leave him alone, he finds me again.I know what I am and what I've done, and Dom deserves better. But a rival gang has put a price on my head, and the man I love won't stay out of their way.DOMLosing my first love nearly destroyed me. After Levi chose his gangster father over me, I never heard from him again, and I told myself I'd moved on.I was lying.Now he's back, and I know exactly what world he belongs to. Wanting him anyway feels reckless, but wanting him has never been a choice.Then three men try to kill him, and I end up with a knife wound and a front-row seat to who he's become.Losing him once almost broke me. Losing him again will finish the job.Ex with Benefits is a steamy second-chance, childhood-friends-to-lovers M/M romance with a crime boss's son, an MMA fighter who's only ever fallen for one man, mafia danger, found family, and a guaranteed HEA.
