Facing The Heat

Book Cover: Facing The Heat
Universal Link Buy Now: Amazon
Part of the Love & Other Disasters series:
  • Riding The Waves
  • Facing The Heat
  • Surviving The Storm

The fire might have the last say and be the thing that tears them apart…

Callum Roger’s friendship with his boss, Trent Masterton, has shifted into something more—something unexpected and charged with simmering sexual tension. Acknowledging his true feelings is life-changing, but Callum finally gathers the courage to make his move.

Trent is no stranger to loss, but it now looks as if his dreams might come true. The man he thought was out of reach is now within his grasp, and the future suddenly seems brighter than ever. But fate has other plans. A raging bushfire sweeps through the mountains, threatening to destroy everything Trent holds dear—his home, his business, and the budding romance with Callum.

In the aftermath of the fire, amidst the devastation, Trent and Callum draw strength from each other. Determined to rebuild their lives, they also begin to explore their feelings. But as they strive to create a new beginning, the lingering effects of the fire loom over them, threatening to tear them apart just as they’ve found each other.

Facing the Heat is a story of love's resilience in the face of natural disaster. It has themes of hurt/comfort, second chances, demisexuality, spicy first times, and the close-knit dynamics of a small town.

Inspired by a short story contribution to a charity anthology, When The Smoke Clears, this is a significantly expanded 36k word book, and contains predominantly unique content.
