Sweat, Stretch, Submit

In the courtroom, I’m a battering ram. On his mat, I am completely undone.

Daniel Price lives his life in his prefrontal cortex. As a senior litigation associate at a cutthroat firm, he runs on four hours of sleep, ice-cold coffee, and a relentless cortisol buzz. His hands shake, his jaw is permanently locked, and his doctor has given him a terrifying ultimatum: find a way to come down, or your body will make the choice for you.

Enter Ember Studio. And enter Arjun.

Arjun Rao is everything Dan isn’t—fluid, unhurried, and perfectly grounded. From the moment he orders Dan to the front row, his low, hypnotic voice bypasses Dan’s defenses entirely. It’s supposed to be simple biomechanics. Just a stressed-out lawyer learning how to breathe.

But when a deep, hands-on adjustment opens a vault of repressed emotion Dan has spent twenty years hiding, the clinical boundary between teacher and student begins to fray.

Arjun draws a strict line: he will not cross it while Dan is his student. The restraint is agonizing. The anticipation is consuming. And when the professional framework finally dissolves, Dan discovers that surrendering control to the only man he trusts isn't a weakness.

It's the bravest thing he's ever done.

Sweat, Stretch, Submit is a scorching, deeply emotional contemporary M/M romance featuring a hyper-vigilant lawyer drowning in stress, a principled yoga instructor with a voice that commands obedience, and a journey of healing, profound vulnerability, and mutual care. This book features explicit content, strict boundaries, and a guaranteed HEA.
