Full Synopsis
The best way to get over a cheating jerk is to get under someone new.
Dominic isn't looking for love or salvation at the Thirsty Cowboy. He needs a temporary escape, and the universe provides him with the sexiest distraction he's ever seen. Sven is a sucker for sad eyes, thick thighs, and a Royal Cosmopolitan. He scores the trifecta when a broody hunk buys him a drink. Sparks fly, passions flare, and a simple kiss becomes a four-alarm blaze until an untimely interruption douses the men with an icy reality, pitting loyalty against lust.
They shouldn't. They couldn't. Spoiler alert: they do!
It was supposed to be one and done but memories of their encounter won't let go. A single text triggers two years of conversations, healing, and an endearing friendship.
An unexpected invitation could provide the nudge their hearts need. Exploring their reignited passion for two weeks in Vail would be a heavenly hideaway if not for a hellish houseguest's resolve to cause trouble. Family rifts and uncomfortable confrontations abound, and embracing a future with Sven means Dom must face his past. Is their love strong enough to withstand the fire, or will they go down in flames?
Contains mature themes.
