Belaytionship: Spicy Rivals to Lovers MM Sports Romance

Rex isn’t just a climbing expert, he’s an expert in all-things rope related. And he could be my ticket to winning the competition. Can I stand to be around him long enough for him to teach me?

Theodore “Teddy” Plinth is thrilled to start off his junior season of competitive bouldering now that his rival has been kicked off the team. After coming in second place all year, there’s nothing sweeter than victory. Until the team captain announces a charity outdoor climbing competition to raise money for students impacted by the 2024 Hurricane Helene, Teddy realizes that his rival, Rex, may have a chance to best him after all. Can Teddy devise a scheme to learn to climb outdoors in two months, or will his hypermobility, and accompanying chronic pain, knock him out of the season before it’s begun? 

Rex Fortier grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. He's not yet ready to reveal the mysterious circumstances behind his legendary free climb of the tallest building on campus, even after the dean of students barred him from competing on the school climbing team. But that doesn’t matter. He wants nothing to do with the team. They never had his back anyways. He doesn’t need them — at least, he thinks he doesn’t, until Teddy shows up at his favorite climbing spot and offers to belay for him. 

Now, Rex has to navigate his infamous reputation and a hot, confusing climbing partnership with his formal rival. Teddy knows exactly how to get on Rex’s nerves. And Rex can’t help but notice that there’s a solution to that in the palms of his hands. 

Belaytionship is a dual POV spicy rivals-to-lovers MM romance novel with a bisexual awakening, rock climbing, hypermobility representation, and numerous hot scenes involving climbing rope.
