King of Pain: Beautiful Edition (Damaged Hearts Book 1)

Step into a world of neon dreams and deeply buried secrets with King of Pain, an electrifying MM romance infused with the soulful pulse of the 1980s. Anthony Pacini is a man defined by his contradictions: a powerhouse college football player at Arizona State who finds his only solace in the rhythmic nostalgia of his job at Devil Records. Proud, protective, and scarred by a traumatic past, Anthony keeps his heart under lock and key, convinced that longing is a luxury he cannot afford. Enter Chance Sullivan, a rebellious newcomer transplanted from Boston to the Arizona heat. Chance is a whirlwind of danger and charisma, running from a predetermined future and burning with a restless energy that threatens to dismantle everything Anthony has built. As their worlds collide, they are pulled into an intense, magnetic attraction that feels as inevitable as it is perilous. This is more than a romance; it is a journey through shadows and synths, where two damaged souls fight to rewrite their own stories. Will Anthony and Chance find redemption in each other’s arms, or are they destined for a heartbreak as iconic as the songs they love? Prepare yourself for a beautiful, raw, and unforgettable exploration of love, identity, and the courage to break free.
