A Touch of Devotion. The Slippery Slope, #3

One man's secret. Another man's heart. And the rival who holds both. Alonzo Russo built himself from nothing. Immigrant, laborer, survivor - and now part-owner of The Slippery Slope, one of the most influential men in the Bowery. He has everything he fought for. Everything except Ricky. Ricky DeMarco has a past he's buried so deep even his closest friends don't know where to dig. His boss Jonathan saved him from ruin once, and Ricky has spent years repaying that debt with silence, loyalty, and one ironclad rule: stay away from Alonzo Russo.
He has never managed to explain to himself why that rule is so hard to keep. When a threat descends on both The Slippery Slope and The Slide, Alonzo and Ricky are forced into the same fight - same streets, same stakes, same impossible proximity. What sparks between them is everything Ricky swore he'd never want and everything Alonzo has been waiting for. But Jonathan's secrets have teeth. And Ricky's past doesn't stay buried forever.
A Touch of Devotion is a slow-burn MM historical romance set in the dangerous, electric heart of 1890s New York City - where loyalty is currency, desire is a liability, and some loves are worth burning everything down for.???????Perfect for fans of forbidden love MM romance, rivals-to-lovers historicals, and slow-burn gay romance with high emotional stakes.
