In the heat of war, the only thing more dangerous than the enemy is the one thing that can save you. Helmand Province is hell on earth. For Lieutenant Laurie Weston, it's a stark contrast to the privileged world he left behind. His only escape is the sketchbook in his vest, a silent rebellion against the chaos. For Captain Ralph Hadleigh, it's another tour of duty, another mission to command and control. When they're thrown together on a reconnaissance patrol, a single, searing glance across the dusty compound ignites a spark that threatens to burn down every wall they've built. They're trained for IEDs and enemy fire, not for this-the reckless, undeniable pull between them. In a world where a moment's hesitation gets you killed, surrender is not an option. But as danger closes in, protecting the mission means guarding more than just each other's backs. It means hiding a connection that could destroy their careers... or become their only lifeline. Desert Heat is a gripping, high-stakes military romance about the lines we cross and the secrets we keep to hold onto the one person who makes the war worth surviving.

*(Un roman d'amour gay en argot parisien contemporain - slow-burn, vibes artistes, et feelings à gogo.)* *"Une love story gay dans le Paris de maintenant, racontée en vrai parler d'aujourd'hui. L'histoire slow-burn d'Éloi, un gars trop dans son monde qui gribouille des croquis, et de Noé, le photographe trop charismatique, pendant qu'ils montent un festival d'art sur les bords de Seine. Entre les cafés de Montmartre, les galeries de l'Île de la Cité et les bails au soleil sur le Pont Alexandre III, ça mate, ça frôle, ça clash... jusqu'à ce que ça pète. Literally.")*
