Sweat - Paperback

by Marquis Kindrick (Author)

A queer Zane meets Moonlight by way of The Chi-hot, heart-wrenching, and dangerously real.

Unapologetically Black. Deeply erotic. Too damn real.

South Los Angeles is on fire-and it's not just the temperature.

When a young writer opens his home to his sister and her fiancé after a house flood, the real pressure doesn't come from the heatwave outside-but from the desire rising within. As the days grow hotter and the nights more tangled, boundaries blur. Fantasies ignite. And when one touch turns into more, he finds himself caught in a spiral of longing he can't outrun.

He knows it's wrong. He knows it could destroy everything. But still-he looks. He aches. He waits.

How do you live with yourself-

when you've touched what was never yours?

Set against the pulse of South Central during a summer that refuses to cool down, SWEAT is a raw, lyrical, and emotionally charged story about lust, silence, and the secrets we carry under the skin.

This isn't just desire.

It's the thing that could burn everything down.

And once it starts, there's no going back.
