Wyatt Turner thought it was just a joke.
One stupid game around a bonfire. One ridiculous challenge between friends. One summer full of laughter, competition, and proving who would back down first.
When Jesse Walker returns to Pine Creek after years away, Wyatt finds himself pulled into a game neither of them takes seriously—at first. But as the weeks pass, the teasing turns into anticipation, the competition becomes something deeper, and every day seems a little better when Jesse is around.
In a small town where everyone knows everybody's business, Wyatt and Jesse can't escape the questions, the rumors, or the growing feelings neither of them is ready to admit.
What started as a joke may become the most important relationship of their lives.
A heartwarming small-town MM romance featuring friends-to-lovers chemistry, slow-burn tension, summer nights, fishing trips, county fairs, family meddling, and a happily-ever-after worth waiting for.
