Thrill of the Chase (Base City Romance #2)
Ellie Roth
Broke and unemployed since the fall of French Industries, William Akbar’s life derails even further when the Coyotes, a gang that used to terrorize Base City, reunite to steal the superpowered DP-11 suits and fill the power vacuum that French left behind. Now, Will has to gear up in the laser-shooting Infrared DP-11 and work together with his old enemies to stop the Coyotes… and hide all of this from Angel, the cutie at his new favorite coffee shop.
Angel Rosario Mendez thought that his job as speedster hero Greaser was almost finished after Marcus French was arrested. But with the Coyotes—his old gang—back in action, he and his team are forced into an uneasy alliance with two of French’s former minions. Now, Angel has to take down his old crew while hiding his past from his new crew… and never breathe a word of this to his new coffee shop friend, Will.
Will rapidly falls for Angel over conversations about coffee, planets, and absolutely nothing about Will’s double life as Infrared. And even though Greaser and Infrared were actively antagonistic under French’s reign, Angel slowly starts developing feelings for Infrared—and whoever he is underneath the mask. With the fate of their city on the line, will Angel’s and Will’s secrets tear them apart or bring them closer than they ever imagined?
This 100k-word two-person love triangle romance features the same familiar world and characters from Book One, enemies to lovers, coffee shop flirting, tragic backstories, a surprising number of chess games, meddling best friends, some mild-to-moderate steaminess, major angst, and a guaranteed happily ever after. (Note: MM romance with a transgender main character.)
