Everyone wants Jace. Jace only sees Tyler.
Tyler Jones has never had a crush.
At twenty-four, he's a content creator, a competitive bodybuilder, and the loudest person in every room-with three hundred thousand followers watching his life in real time and exactly zero experience with attraction, desire, or sex. He's fine with it. He's always been fine with it.
Until a kiss in a hotel hallway with Jace Weaver rewires everything Tyler thought he knew about himself.
Jace Weaver doesn't let people in.
Thrown out of his Mormon family at fifteen, he survived by doing whatever it took to build a future for himself-including a brief career in adult films before turning a phone propped on a stack of books into a three-million-follower fitness empire. He's spent years keeping people at arm's length. He's not about to make an exception for Tyler Jones.
Then Tyler asks Jace to coach him for Mr. Olympia.
Twenty weeks.
Six meals a day.
Daily posing sessions.
And entirely too much time spent alone together.
As Tyler's body transforms, so does everything between them. The feelings neither man wants to risk become impossible to ignore. For the first time in his life, Tyler wants someone. For the first time in his life, Jace wants to stop running.
But Tyler is keeping a secret.
One bad decision. One lie that could cost him his health, his future, and the only person he's ever loved.
Gym Crush is a steamy friends-to-lovers M/M sports romance featuring a demisexual awakening, coach-athlete tension, forced proximity, competitive bodybuilding, found family, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
Perfect for readers who love emotional slow burns, lovable golden retriever heroes, grumpy fitness gods, and romances where choosing the right person matters more than chasing the dream.
