Breakfall

Two MIT students, two martial arts clubs, two different backgrounds. The ex-Navy Asbjorn Lund, still grieving his karate teacher's death, resolves to teach his students how to fall. When he infiltrates the aikido club as a rank beginner, the Aikidoka Sean Gallaway throws him – and Asbjorn falls for Sean, body and heart and spirit.

Sean has a lot to learn from the older and more experienced Asbjorn, from dirty street fighting to the beginning of something sweet and lasting.

Except trouble finds Sean, the kind where he loses the battle and hopes to win the war. Brave and proud, Sean determines to finish the career of a sexual predator who victimized him.

Sean won't be coddled.

Asbjorn needs to protect.

The two will find their happiness – unless they kill each other first.
