Bad boy Blake has been dropped by his record label, and he's got no place to go but home to his pushy parents. When he gets there, he finds his whole life is being turned into a reality TV show, which might be enough to get his career back on track. Elion isn't a bad boy, he's barista in a town so small he knows every customer by name. His world is turned on its head when Blake walks right through his door. And like a fool, in front of thousands of viewers, Elion feels that old spark reignite from their high school days. Blake hasn't ever been with a guy before, but his producer insists an on-screen fling is just what their ratings need, and Elion is more than okay with that. But reality and fiction begin to blur, and falling in love becomes tantalizingly possible. When a super fan attacks Blake out of jealousy, will Elion and Blake's love be enough to save their lives and their hearts? Scorch is a steamy, standalone gay romance novel with a guaranteed HEA and absolutely no cliffhanger.
