Country Cop, City Boy by Mia Terry

Australian rural life heats up in this new m/m romance from author Mia Terry.

For ex-party boy Jai Latimore, moving to the country as a radiologist means a new start. He’s excited to be part of a rural community, even knowing that eligible gay men are going to be thin on the ground.
Giving up his love life is one thing, but he doesn’t expect the outright hostility he receives from the local police officer. Jai can’t help but wonder if he made a mistake taking a job so far from home.
Sgt. Luke McClain definitely doesn’t want to desire Jai. Luke long ago decided being gay wasn’t an option as long as he was a country cop in a small town. It’s easier to be rude to the attractive radiologist—until some painkillers and a slip in Luke’s tightly held control reveal too much.
Jai decides the closeted cop needs a friend who knows his secrets. With no other likely candidates around, Jai pushes his friendship on prickly Luke.

When friendship turns to something more, both men have to decide whether their histories and fears for their futures are worth giving up hot sex and possibly love.
