Two men who are meant to be together but have a long road to get there. Dallas knows that Kyle doesn’t need another bossy alpha. He needs to find his own inner warrior and make peace with himself before they can be more than friends. Kyle is so obsessed with the size of his waist, that he almost misses his shot with the one alpha who will love him unconditionally in addition to being his best friend.
