**Some roommates leave dirty dishes.
His might get him killed.**

Octavious Prescott (Tav) likes control. Quiet routines. Clear exits. No attachments.

An undercover operative for a shadow organization known as Ablation, Tav is sent to Blackwood Heights under a carefully constructed identity and one simple expectation: work alone.

Then he opens the apartment door.

Alistair Keaton is already living there.

Charming. Infuriating. Impossible to read.

He claims a paperwork mistake landed them in the same luxury apartment, but Tav knows better. Nothing about Alistair adds up. His stories don't match. His habits feel trained. And the more Tav watches him, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Because Alistair is hiding something.

And so is Tav.

As surveillance windows shift, hidden agendas collide, and the walls around them begin to crack, suspicion turns into fascination. Fascination becomes obsession. And the line between mission and desire disappears entirely.

Now two men trained to trust no one must decide whether the greatest threat is the organizations hunting them...

Or the feelings neither of them can afford.

**Compromised** is the first book in *The Pairing Series*, a steamy MM romantic suspense featuring forced proximity, secret identities, slow-burn tension, possessive chemistry, dangerous conspiracies, emotional angst, found trust, and a hard-earned HEA. Perfect for readers who love intense attraction, high stakes, and two men who never expected to become each other's weakness.
