Three different worlds. Three desperate situations. Three couples who refuse to break. Minerva's RestTwo elite cyclists, stranded on a mountain pass when a hailstorm traps them in a ruined mining town. Their Lycra is frozen, their only shelter a derelict cabin. To survive the night, they must share body heat, and finally acknowledge the desire they've been circling for years. A story of competitive heat turned into survival heat.
The IslandEmily, an office worker who reads under a weighted blanket. Sam, a musician who knows chords, not campfires. When their yacht sinks, they wash ashore on a deserted island. No tools, no clothes, no rescue in sight. As they build shelter, catch fish, and fight the cold, the shyness that has kept them isolated begins to crumble, and they discover that survival is only the beginning. A story of two ordinary people finding extraordinary courage.
The GauntletIn a dystopian future, the world's most brutal reality show strips two contestants naked and hunts them through sixteen thousand square kilometres of forest. Matt, a constructor who thinks in foundations. Hannah, a data analyst who counts her steps. They are supposed to lose. Instead, they find each other, and a love that defies the cameras. A story of rebellion against the spectacle. Three survival scenarios.
Three neurodivergent-friendly romances. Explicit consent. Sensory detail. And the unshakeable belief that connection is the most vital tool for staying alive. Includes: Forced proximity, explicit verbal and non-verbal consent, autistic-coded protagonists, dystopian theme (The Gauntlet), and three very different happy endings. For anyone who has ever had to fight for warmth - and won.35, 200 words (complete trilogy)
