A Gripping, Slow-Burn Gay Romance of Survival, Love, and Second Chances

Brad Blake is a city boy through and through. But when he inherits a crumbling mountain lodge from a long-lost uncle, he heads into the remote wilderness with one goal—fix it up fast and sell it even faster. He never planned on getting stranded, freezing half to death, or being rescued by the gruff, off-grid survivalist who thinks he has no business being there.

Griffin “Grizz” Calloway has spent years living in the wild, far from the ghosts of his past. He doesn’t need company, especially not a stubborn, out-of-his-element city boy who doesn’t know the first thing about survival. But when Brad proves too damn determined—and too damn tempting—Grizz makes a deal. He’ll help Brad fix the lodge and teach him how to survive, as long as Brad pulls his weight.

What starts as a reluctant partnership soon turns into something neither of them expected. Tension turns into stolen glances, heated moments, and a slow-burning desire that neither man is ready to face. But as winter sets in and emotions run high, Brad and Grizz will have to decide—stay guarded and alone, or take a leap into the unknown.

A sizzling age-gap romance packed with wilderness survival, undeniable chemistry, and the kind of love that sneaks up when you least expect it.
