They might live in the same southern county, but they're from completely different worlds.
Jasper Riley is a closed-off young man carrying a painful past and longing for the Sheriff of Misty Hollow. Rhett is buff, blond, and all-around the most decent man you could meet—and totally out of Jasper's league. No one would look at him the way he looks at the sheriff.
Recently divorced and yearning for something more, Rhett's world changes when he becomes aware of Jasper's admiration. On a hot summer night with a thunderstorm rolling through, it's like the two see each other clearly for the first time.
As Rhett and Jasper's paths intertwine, a connection sparks between them. Their journey is a dance of desire, vulnerability, and self-discover. Amidst tender moments and life-threatening thrills, they navigate the power of acceptance and the courage to love against all odds.
Or as the coauthors say, "We're here for the smut and drama."
