Free Solo Hearts - The Risk of Falling in Love - Gay Romance Novel

Isaac Ray lives for the climb. As one of the top competitive sport climbers in the country, he‘s conquered some of the most challenging routes in the world. But there‘s one thing he can‘t seem to master - trusting someone with his heart. For three years, Jacob Rhodes has been Isaac‘s belayer, the man who literally holds his life in his hands every time Isaac leaves the ground. Their partnership is flawless, built on absolute trust and an unspoken connection that goes far beyond the climbing wall. Jacob knows every one of Isaac‘s tells, every breath, every movement - but he‘s never dared to hope that Isaac might feel the same magnetic pull that keeps Jacob awake at night. When an injury forces Isaac to take a break from competition, the two men embark on a road trip to tackle some of the most iconic outdoor climbs in the American West. Away from the pressure of competition and the eyes of their climbing community, the tension that‘s been building between them finally reaches a breaking point. But falling in love is the ultimate risk. With Isaac‘s career on the line and Jacob‘s fear of not being enough threatening to pull them apart, they‘ll have to decide if what they‘ve found together is worth the leap. Sometimes the hardest part isn‘t the climb - it‘s letting go and trusting someone to catch you.
