Sahara Heat: A Grumpy Sunshine MM Romance (Medium Spice Forced Proximity Tent-Sharing)
Dylan Joseph
Callum knows Idris El-Khoury.
At least, he thinks he does—he’s read every book, watched every interview, followed every perfectly filtered post from the travel legend who turned solitude into an empire. So when Callum signs up for a guided trek across the Sahara and finds Idris on the roster, it feels like fate.
Idris isn’t looking for fans—or anyone.
He’s chasing silence—the kind he can’t buy with royalties or acclaim. Burned out, guarded, and done being everyone’s inspiration, he’s there to disappear. Except now he’s stuck sharing a tent with a star-struck poet who talks too much, laughs too easily, and keeps asking the kind of questions Idris stopped answering years ago.
The isolation of a camel trek they came for turns into something else entirely. Beneath the heat and the stars, Callum’s warmth begins to melt Idris’s distance. What starts as fascination becomes friction, then something neither man planned to find.
But the desert strips everything down to truth—and when the trek ends, they’ll have to decide what’s worth carrying home and what should stay buried in the sand.
An open-door, medium-burn with forced-proximity MM romance about fame, silence, and the love that survives the heat.
