reckless hearts

Adrien Cho-Camille has lived his entire life on a schedule that was never his. At twenty-three, he’s a college student, elite fencer, and polished prodigy—perfect grades, perfect posture, perfect smile. Half French, half Korean-English, raised to win at everything except life, Adrien’s true passion for drawing was quietly erased and replaced with expectations he never agreed to carry. Zane Calloway never learned how to be perfect. At twenty-five, he’s a rising MMA fighter who didn’t go to college, lives openly, loves loudly, and spends his nights in gay bars where no one pretends. Raised by a single mother after escaping an abusive home, Zane built his life from survival, not approval—and he refuses to apologize for it. When their worlds collide, it looks like rivalry. Grace against violence. Discipline against chaos. The golden child versus the man everyone calls dangerous. Adrien’s parents label Zane the enemy—a violent influence with no plan, no future, no place in their son’s carefully curated life. But Zane is the only one who never tells Adrien who he should be. With him, Adrien feels seen instead of evaluated… free instead of perfect. As attraction ignites and boundaries blur, Adrien is forced to confront the truth: the life that looks flawless is slowly killing him. And choosing Zane doesn’t just mean choosing love—it means choosing himself, even if it makes him the villain in the world that raised him. In a universe built on obedience, falling for the enemy may be the only way out.
