Summary
After almost a year of talking online, Dean’s long-distance Dom, a taekwondo instructor, finally talks him into taking up classes at his local dojang. As a result, Dean comes face to face with an instructor that threatens to be his undoing: a strict, cold man that is known simply by his title, Sa Bum Nim — master instructor. Sa Bum Nim makes Dean’s life miserable, as does the ‘interesting’ beta that his long-distance situationship keeps talking about.
Dean’s lived stealth his entire life, especially at the gym where he’d have to get an alpha’s permission to participate otherwise. When his meds fail, his carefully constructed veneer threatens to crack and expose him to the world as the thing he’d been taught to hate about himself. Unwillingly off his meds and doomed to endure his natural cycle, his upcoming heat promises to be intense, and leaves him with precious few options for companionship. When a reluctant call for help brings his two worlds colliding together, he’s unsure he can survive the aftermath: the promise of the dynamic of his dreams and an answer to his prayer for independence within a system designed to keep him at the bottom.
