What happens when a guarded billionaire and a dog walker with nothing to lose cross paths over a leash and a lie?

Oliver Chase built an empire by staying in control -- until the day he discovers his own family embezzled millions from the foster care foundation bearing his name. Burned out and alone in a sprawling Napa Valley estate, he wants nothing more than to disappear.

Enter Ash Patel: 23, broke, and blunt, walking dogs to survive after aging out of the very system Oliver failed. He's the kind of guy who leaves handwritten notes after every walk -- funny, sharp, way too personal. At first, Oliver dismisses them. Then he starts waiting for them. Then he meets Ash in person. And nothing stays the same.

One man is haunted by guilt. The other is quietly testing him. What starts as sarcastic post-its and reluctant walks becomes something deeper -- if Oliver is willing to face the truth and Ash is brave enough to believe in more than survival.

Out of Step is a slow-burn MM billionaire romance full of emotional tension, dry wit, and quiet redemption. Featuring: a golden retriever named Luna, one very sharp pen, and two men who learn how to walk forward -- together.
