Express Heat:: A steamy MM slow-burn romance of strangers, secrets, and sparks on a midnight train
Ryan Moore
Express Heat is the second book in the Public Connections series—a collection of high-heat, emotionally complex M/M stories about unexpected intimacy, public settings, and the moments that crack us open.
When Finn boards the overnight train from York, he’s expecting silence, solitude, and maybe a bottle of cheap wine to drown out the mess in his head.
What he isn’t expecting is his Ezra—hot, charming, nosy, and impossible to ignore.
The conversation starts awkward. The chemistry builds fast. The rules Finn lives by? They’re about to go off the rails.
