By Degrees

2020 | LGBTQ+ | Romance

Con’s a firefighter; he knows a burning flame when he sees one. But as things heat up between him and his prickly, irresistible roommate Tim, a flood of long-denied emotions threaten to drown that spark.

Tim’s a survivor: out of the foster system and excelling in his medical career, he’s focused on the future he’s planned and fought for since he was eleven years old. Reconnecting with a childhood friend seems like a harmless indulgence to allow himself—right up until Con walks off the plane.

Handsome, laid-back, and very much out, Con is starting his dream job as a firefighter and couldn't be happier. But his old friend and new roommate is wound tighter than anyone should be, especially a man Con is beginning to care about. A little nudge can loosen Tim up; who knows what might be revealed if Con keeps nudging?

Hope and safety are soon hammering it out on the wall Tim’s built to keep his emotions locked away. If that wall finally shatters, Tim's not sure what will be left.
