And I don't think I want to.” 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. With nothing but a bag full of clothes and his dad's broken-down old Camaro, they make the move back to the town that Jake once called home. There, he begins a new life as one of the town's police deputies. “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? This book was previously sold as “Georgia Heat” by Lola Carson.

    He escapes to an inherited ranch to finally fulfill his dream to be an artist instead of selling other people's art. Dr. Blake Leary is a gay man's wet dream. He's a calendar cowboy with a cocky grin, old-fashioned manners, a twanging Texas accent and a hopeless romantic. He found a perfect location for his equine veterinary clinic at a local horse ranch with an absentee landlord. It takes about fifteen minutes for the two to realize the situation is a disaster. “I could think of about a hundred things I’d rather do than waste my time talking to you,” Camden returned as he stepped closer, bumping Blake’s chest with his. That was it. Blake growled angrily as his hands wrapped around Camden’s face and backed him against the stall door behind him. His mouth crashed into Camden’s and Blake’s tongue slipped between Camden’s lips when he gasped in shock. Blake felt Camden’s hands fist in his shirt, pulling him closer as Camden angled his head and took the kiss deeper. Heat exploded and Blake groaned as he slid one hand around Camden’s neck and the other glided around his chest then down his back until Blake got a handful of Camden’s ass. Camden moaned into Blake’s mouth as his tongue twisted urgently around Blake’s. Camden’s hands slid down Blake’s chest, clawing at pecs and abs as his hips thrust against Blake’s groin. Their lips and tongues fought angrily as they gripped and pulled at each other. It was hot, hard and frantic as they bucked and writhed, trying to get closer. Blake wrapped his other hand around Camden’s ass and lifted him as he settled his hips between Camden’s thighs, grinding hard as he pinned him against the door. Blake’s hat hit the dirt as Camden’s hands tangled in his hair and he pulled as their tongues dueled fiercely. Camden’s cock was hard and Blake felt the heat of it pressing against his own throbbing length as Camden locked a leg around Blake’s thigh and rocked his hips. Blake pulled back on a gasp and stared at Camden, completely in awe and panting with more desperate lust than he’d ever experienced. How? Why? He wondered as his eyes searched Camden’s. Everything about Camden was perfect. His body locked against Blake’s as if they were matching pieces and his lips and tongue tasted like honey and mint. Blake had never wanted someone so completely, so intensely. He knew that if he stripped off their clothes, Camden’s body would feel like heaven in his arms and making love to him would be a life changing experience. Camden was perfect. Until he opened his mouth, then he was perfectly awful. As if on cue, Camden licked his lips. “What was that?” His voice was thick and low and Blake felt it against his skin. He shook his head and groaned as his lips brushed against Camden’s. “It was this or drive my fist into your nose,” Blake admitted and Camden nodded faintly. “Good choice,” he murmured before he sucked on Blake’s lower lip.
