Patrick thought a month-long camping trip with his brother would help him forget. His girlfriend cheated, his heart's wrecked, and hiding in the woods sounds easier than facing what's left of his life. But when his brother's best friend Jake shows up-older, broader, quieter now, and definitely not the guy who used to ruffle his hair-everything shifts. One night around the fire. One moment of unexpected honesty.
One kiss that hits harder than the heartbreak he came here to escape. Soon Patrick can't ignore the way Jake watches him. or how Jake's touch lingers a little too long to be innocent. And the deeper they hike into the wilderness, the harder it becomes to pretend the spark between them is just a fluke. Patrick came out here to heal. He didn't expect to fall-especially not for the one man he never saw coming.
A slow-burn, heart-twisting MM romance filled with heat, vulnerability, and wildfire chemistry that refuses to be contained.
