Taking the Heat by Austin Bates

I’m no outdoorsman … but I’m willing to cuddle with one for warmth.

Jones and I have been hooking up on and off for years and I know it will never be anything more. He’s my brother’s best friend, and my brother’s head would explode if he found out about us. But when I need some guidance on the topic of my next book, he’s just the guy to help. He’ll take me into the woods for a few days, show me the ropes, and keep me from getting myself killed. It’s all perfect … until I unexpectedly go into heat.
We’re miles from home and all alone, and there’s no one I’ve ever wanted more than Jones, even though I know I could never be good enough for him. Bonding now means more than our hookups ever did. Are we ready to take that step? Or are we going to let our fear of disapproval stand in the way of our best chance at love?
