Jake never thought he'd wind up back in the small town of Fairfield, Georgia. But when he decides that New York City is no longer the right place for a single dad to raise his young son, that’s just where he goes.

“You wanna spend some real time alone with me, Officer?”
When taking his Camaro in to the shop, he meets the town's hot-as-hell mechanic, Matt. The spark between them is instantaneous, and though Jake has never been with a man before, the chemistry between them can't be ignored. There's a couple of problems, though. Matt's deeply homophobic father threatens everything about the new relationship, and Jake's not ready to tell his son that he's moving on, let alone with another man.
“You don’t have to tell me everything, but please, talk to me.”
What begins as a simple hookup quickly turns more complicated when Jake's son catches them in the act, and word travels quickly in this small town. When Matt's father rejects his son's new boyfriend, what began as a warning soon turns more threatening. And when fires crop up around town, both Jake and Matt will have to decide which is more important: their love or the safety of their families?
