Steel Coleman sinned in his heart the day he saw fifteen-year-old Riley Spencer. Driven by lust he couldn't acknowledge or control, he encourages his mother to marry Riley's father, joining the two families and creating a living hell for Steel in the process. In an attempt to spare his sanity, he goes for long rides from the family ranch, and he's not home to protect the family when bandits strike. Riley survives but their parents are murdered. Haunted by grief and guilt, Steel flees to catch the men responsible, promising his younger stepbrother he would return. He never does. When they meet again ten years later, Riley is a far cry from the boy Steel left behind. And he needs his former stepbrother to pay for the very real sin of abandoning him when he needed Steel the most. But their fateful meeting sends Riley running. Leaving Steel is the hardest thing he's ever done, but Riley understands what Steel knew all along -- it's too dangerous to stay. Will he be prepared to face the consequences when Steel inevitably catches up with him? Can forgiveness be possible?

Steel's Redemption

But Riley’s words rose above the gasps, grunts, thumps, and slaps, ringing through the air like a church bell on Sunday morning. So accusatory and bitterly triumphant, as though he set out to prove a point, and now there was nothing else to be said about it. So certain it meant everything…it means nothing.


But it did mean everything. That’s why he lifted his hips and rocked back and tensed around the hard rod buried in his ass. It was the crashing of two worlds, the meeting and destruction of two souls, and they’d never be able to pick up the pieces again. Riley put his hands over Steel’s shoulders, using his new hold to drive him back onto his prick. The wooden frame shuddered and creaked beneath them, but Riley ignored the danger, turning his entire body, every muscle and breath, into a weapon. Defeating him in ways no gun or knife ever could.
