Gluttony is a 104K+ word story about excess, restraint, and the love that finds you when you least expect it.
Everett Peters has spent his life taking hits—inside the ring and out. A retired boxing champion, he’s used to pushing his limits, indulging in whatever numbs the pain of past mistakes and present regrets. Love? That’s not even in the equation.
Apryl Wilde is all about balance. A celebrity personal trainer with a disciplined mindset, she’s determined to rebuild her life after betrayal left her with wounds that still haven’t healed. She has no interest in love—especially not with a man who refuses to face his own demons.
When Apryl and Everett cross paths, what starts as a business arrangement turns into something deeper. But love requires vulnerability, and neither of them is willing to risk another heartbreak.
The question is, can they deny what’s growing between them, or will love become the one thing they never knew they needed?

Gluttony Synopsis
Everett Peters is a gutsy retired boxer whose guileless gluttonous tendencies grow chronic as he battles guilt and grief following a gut-wrenching betrayal. Apryl Wilde is a tender-hearted celebrity personal trainer who thrives off temperance and is trying to rebuild her life after being backstabbed by people she trusted.
Failing in love was Apryl and Everett’s reality. Falling in love was the last thing either of them wanted to do again. But when they meet, they quickly realize love is the change they both have been craving.
Everett Peters
"I was simply trying to escape an unpleasant situation when I returned home to New York City. My focus was clear—prepare for a special appearance that would help me start a brand-new life post-retirement from boxing. Love was nowhere on my mind. Like… at all. It couldn’t be. I’d just experienced the worst betrayal of my life, and I couldn’t even be too upset because I was once the villain in many other stories.
But that didn’t make the pain hurt any less, and I believed it was too dark to let love in. Love should have never found me again with where my head was at. But it did, through a woman named Apryl Wilde. And I can’t help but to feel like I have no choice but to fumble the bag to protect my future and my heart… and hers too."
Apryl Wilde
"I was simply trying to do my damn job and get my life back on track after being betrayed by people I thought I could trust. The heartbreak I experienced was crushing. Cry-every-morning-before-I-start-my-day, level of crushing. And what made it worse? I couldn’t even move past it like any other failed relationship because one of the villains in my story still had ties to my career.
So, when I agreed to do a favor concerning Everett Peters, my focus was set—help him reach his fitness goals while freeing myself from the shackles of my past. I expected nothing more, nothing less. And I damn sure wasn’t expecting to fall in love.
I mean… I’d been wading in the dating pool, just trying to get my feet wet. I wasn’t at all prepared to find love, much less get drunk off it. But there I was, looking Everett Peters in the eyes and seeing more than just my way out of career misery. I saw my future. But I think I’m way too guarded to let love in as I should… for good reason. And I’m not sure my heart can handle another disappointment."
Gluttony is likely the one sin most don’t consider a sin at all. And though it’s often associated with food, this vice is about more than what’s on a plate—it’s about overindulging in anything that leads to self-destruction.
Can the virtuous beauty who thrives off temperance find it within herself to let her guard down and satiate the appetite of the gluttonous one with a dish best served from the heart… love?
