Thaw in Winter — Kate Steele

Genre: LGBT Erotic Contemporary

Spending his vacation in a remote cabin in the woods, Mark Bartel expected to see nothing more exciting than some local wildlife. He got more than he bargained for.

While on a hike, Mark comes across a campsite where the camper puts to shame anything nature has to offer. Joe Moning is tall, blond, built and utterly gorgeous. One look from those vivid blue eyes has Mark's heart racing. Invited to share a cup of coffee with the man, Mark is at once captivated and disappointed. The gold wedding band Joe wears puts to rest any notions Mark could entertain about something more happening between them. Until Joe kisses him.

Aroused and confused, Mark retreats but not before Joe extracts a promise from him. He's leaving the next day but wants to meet again when Mark returns to the city. Mark agrees but what of Joe's spouse? Does he really want to be the one who comes between Joe and his unknown lover?

Sooner than Mark anticipates, an unexpected snowstorm brings them together again. After rescuing an injured Joe and returning to the cabin, the two of them discover Joe has partial amnesia. Joe hasn't forgotten his attraction to Mark but he can't remember the answer to the biggest stumbling block between them. Who wears the mate to the ring he so openly sports? Is he or is he not free to act on the escalating desire that's ready to boil over between them?

While the storm rages outside, tempers flare, need grows and temptation becomes a living, breathing entity. It may be winter but inside this cozy cabin, the thaw has already begun.
