Catching a Phoenix — Sage Marlowe

Confined to rural England for a holiday, Ryan Holmes isn't expecting the only person within a five-mile radius to be the man of his dreams. Hotheaded but introverted, Jazz Spencer, Ryan's solitary neighbor, may look like a dream come true but has the potential to become a nightmare. Giving in to mutual attraction, they begin an affair, and Ryan finds himself increasingly intrigued. But even though they are obviously very compatible on a physical level, Jazz remains distant. His reluctance to reveal his feelings, or indeed much personal information at all, forces Ryan to make his own assumptions, which mostly turn out to be painfully wrong. Ryan soon has to realize that whenever he is about to fall in love, Jazz just shies away, leaving Ryan's heart burned by the heat of passion. Determined that he can solve the mystery that Jazz is to him anyway, Ryan sets out to catch him for good.
