Fear of Falling by Sierra Riley

“You were just a kid doing the best you could.”
Parker Robinson needs a fresh start, but a blisteringly hot encounter with a mysterious older man threatens to upend that. Before Parker’s big move away from the bright lights of Las Vegas, his friends take him out for one last weekend on the town. He runs into trouble with a pushy guy at a club, but a stranger steps in and saves the day. A rough, rugged stranger who’s almost twenty years his senior. Parker’s mouth is watering in an instant. They spend one hard, fast night together, and in the morning, he’s gone.

“Stay out of my way or we’re gonna have trouble.”

Terry March lives for the thrill of free fall. Adrenaline is the only thing that gets him through. He’s been alone so long he’s forgotten how to live any other way. He lives a solitary life in the Arizona desert, deep in the closet, bogged down with regrets, and married to his job as a skydiving instructor. But when the new face at his hangar is all too familiar, he has to go on the defensive, to ensure his secret doesn’t get out.

What are the odds Parker’s mystery man is a skydiving instructor at his new job? He wonders if it’s fate. Too bad the guy is a huge, confrontational asshole, threatening Parker to keep his mouth shut about his encounter or else. But Parker isn’t one to be deterred so easily. He’s determined to know why tough, resilient Terry insists on keeping everyone at arm’s length.What hurt him? And can Parker fix it?
