Never Will I Ever

When Avery's reputation implodes in spectacular fashion, the last thing he expects is to serve his penance at a summer camp—and the very last person he expects to find waiting for him there is Kaleb LaMothe, the man who blew his life apart in the first place.

Forced into ten weeks of shared cabins, communal meals, and chaotic campers, Avery and Kaleb have no choice but to coexist. The tension is immediate and electric—a war of icy silences, cutting remarks, and glares sharp enough to draw blood. Avery has a list of things he swore he'd never do, and falling for the man who destroyed him sits firmly at the top.

But the wilderness has a way of stripping people down to their bare essentials. Somewhere between midnight campfire arguments and the relentless heat of the summer sun, the armor they've both been wearing starts to crack. The contempt between them curdles into something far more dangerous—a white-hot attraction that refuses to be ignored, no matter how many times Avery reminds himself exactly who Kaleb is.

Never Will I Ever is a steamy, laugh-out-loud LGBTQ+ romantic comedy that proves the heart rarely listens to reason. Brandon Francis CE Ricci delivers razor-sharp wit, scorching chemistry, and a slow-burn that ignites into an inferno. Because sometimes the person you hate most is the only one who truly sees you—and that changes everything.
