A late night, a dark alleyway, a cry for help-and two unlikely men see a chance to reach for love.


Roy is a boxer, a lifelong loner who prefers to express himself with his fists. His stutter and his troubled past have left him nearly silent. When he stumbles across three drunks trying to steal a young man's wheelchair, he sees a chance to make his mark. But once the adrenaline rush has faded, he finds that it's the bright-eyed man in the wheelchair that he can't forget.


Asher is sweet, playful, and nerdy-but often rejected in love because of his disability, cerebral palsy. He's equal parts intrigued and intimidated by the taciturn vigilante who came to his rescue. But the way Roy looks at him makes him think that they might have more in common than meets the eye.


As their chance encounter grows into a tender connection, Asher and Roy discover that the closer they get, the more they'll have to reckon with the unspoken pain that each carries with him. Will they be able to bridge the differences that drew them together in the first place?


Shadowboxing is a sweet, standalone M/M romance with a few steamy scenes.
