Nial Hayes is the reliable one. The guy who answers emails at midnight, keeps six budgets in his head, and says yes when his friends insist a week in a mountain cabin will be fun.
Fun is not the word he'd use when he opens the door and meets Lester Reid.
Lester is all sharp lines and sharper comments, a city creature in an overpriced jacket who looks like he got lost on the way to a rooftop bar. He doesn't want to be there. Nial doesn't want to share a room with him. And the low, insistent pull of attraction under Nial's skin? Absolutely not part of the plan.
Then the group hike takes a wrong turn.
The map stops making sense. Clouds roll in. What should have been a scenic trail turns into a problem, and the only person at Nial's side when things start to go bad is the man who flirts like it is a dare and trusts like it is a crime.
As daylight thins and the air gets colder, the world shrinks to wet boots, bad decisions, and the warm, infuriating, magnetic body pressed too close in the dark. Nial, who has spent years living inside neat little lines, finds himself wanting something messy and terrifying. Lester, who has made an art of keeping his distance, has to decide what scares him more: the woods, or how safe he feels in someone else's hands.
INCONVENIENT HEAT is a queer romance about getting lost, holding on, and wanting the one person you never planned for, so badly it feels like its own kind of danger.
