I’m the golden boy of the Renaissance faire circuit, the Master Archer with a charming grin and a bullseye every time. My life is a series of six-week contracts and easy goodbyes—just the way I like it. But my latest gig drops me right back into the world I grew up in, and face-to-face with the one person I ever let see the real Thaddeus MacReady. My best friend. The guy who ghosted me eight years ago after one drunken, experimental, and unforgettable kiss. He’s no longer the quiet boy I remember; he’s a mountain of a man with secrets in his stormy gray eyes and a body forged in fire. And I’m not sure if I want to fight him or kiss him again.
Thaddeus
For eight years, I’ve had one stay away from Gareth Fletcher. He was a beautiful, chaotic mistake that showed me a truth about myself I wasn’t ready for. I ran. Now, he’s here, my new coworker, my next-door neighbor, a constant, beautiful, and infuriating reminder of everything I can’t have. He’s all easy charm and sunshine, while I’m hiding in the smoke of my forge, guarding a heart that has only ever beaten for him. He thinks I hate him. He has no idea that every beat of my hammer is just another way of screaming his name.
One Spark...
Forced together by circumstance, the old, easy banter quickly returns, but it’s layered with years of unspoken hurt and a new, dangerous, and undeniable hum of attraction. When a moment of crisis leads to a night of explosive, world-altering passion, they are forced to confront the truth they’ve both been running from. But with demanding parents, a meddling management, and a lifetime of secrets between them, can this archer and this blacksmith finally forge a love strong enough to last, or will they be consumed by the fire?
