Gabriel Velasques has all the fame, wealth and status that comes with being the town's greatest fireman. You would assume that if you had the house of your dreams, a supermodel for a wife, and constant praise and recognition that you'd be set for life, right?
Gabriel thought that too. He thought if he had everything else in the world, he'd be able to ignore a certain part of him--a part he was happily content with ignoring and locking away--but his life has been far from ideal. Unhapilly married, smothered by work, and battling a past he doesn't want to confront, Gabriel's mental health is in a serious declination.
However, add Nathaniel Park--a cute, gay rookie firefighter--to the mix, and expect an inferno of change. Gabriel knows better to play with things he isn't allowed to touch, but he can't resist. What happens when you play with fire?
[ boy x boy ]
Ethan Ryder wasn't planning on moving to a new town just before starting his final year at high school. He wasn't planning on leaving his friends behind, only to have to make new ones. He wasn't planning on leaving his dad behind, either.
But after Ethan's mom caught her husband cheating, she ran off, taking nothing but her two children and a lorry full of furniture. And leaving nothing but the divorce papers. Ethan's family was struggling with money; leaving on such short notice it was hard for his mom to secure a job.
And with Ethan starting brand new at a new school, he had his own problems. Babysitting his little sister, dealing with a new, demanding friend, the threats of beginning at a new school, and a cute guy in his photography class that won't leave him alone.
