Sire - Pavelle, Kate

A companion to Broken Gait





A Steel City Story





A new transfer, Robbie Kowalski embraces his fresh start at Three Rivers Academy. Freedom from football, delightfully challenging academics, family support-Robbie is thrilled. No more fumbles, no more gay taunts, and a refreshing challenge at blending in with the kids of rich people, the sort his dad usually works for. Robbie's even willing to work in his dad's carpentry business to help pay tuition, especially once he gets to know his cute lab partner, Brent.





Brent Kenson, competitive rider and key man in his uncle's stable, schemes to escape the legal career his dad has all planned out for him. He almost pulls it off too, until a scorching kiss from Robbie turns his world upside down. When Brent discovers his dad is not his real father, his world flips again, and he's left reeling and desperate for escape.





With time running out, Robbie must find a way to help Brent confront his fear of rejection and embrace who he is before Brent takes a drastic step to end his pain-permanently.
