A Fighting Chance (Knockout Series)
A.J Nighthawke
by Lark Taylor
He was supposed to be off-limits—his brother's best friend, the ghost from every sleepless night, and the one man he's spent years learning how to despise.
But shadows have a way of following you home.
When fate forces them back into the same orbit, the rules that kept them apart feel less like protection and more like a slow kind of torture. Every sharp word between them carries the weight of something unfinished. Every charged silence crackles with history neither of them will name out loud. They've built their entire dynamic on friction and distance—and it worked, until it didn't.
Now the walls are crumbling in real time.
He doesn't want to want this man. Doesn't want to feel the way old wounds soften when he's near, or notice the way his brother's best friend looks at him like he's something worth fighting for instead of fighting against. The hatred was easier. The hatred made sense.

*Shadows Never Leave* is the stunning conclusion to the Shadow Duet—a raw, emotional MM romance that proves some connections are forged too deep to outrun. With searing chemistry, complicated loyalty, and a slow-burn that finally, *finally
