Burning Deceptions
Asher
College. The perfect time to focus on myself instead of family and friends, who’ve always come first. Yeah, right! That lasts all of five seconds before I’m roped into their high jinks once again. No one can ever say Asher Brandt lets family down. Nope. I’m all in on this latest disaster, requiring me to shave my legs and call myself Ashley.
But this bad idea takes a turn for the worse when a smoking hot older guy wants to get to know me, or rather, Ashley. The more I learn about Luke, the more I wish we’d met without this lie I’m dressed in because he’s irresistible, and now I have to find the right time to remove it all—the lie and the dress.
Luke
What’s wrong with being a single man? According to the old money I was born into, everything. Mother’s determined to marry me off, and as she marches her latest bride-to-be my way, I’ve got a choice to make. Bend to her will as I have before and entertain this farce, or choose Ashley, a new option with a remarkable quality that immediately sets me at ease.
Only Ashley is so much more than she appears to be and uncovers a door I thought long buried. Even more distressing is how the lie I’ve worn for twenty years doesn’t fit as it once did. All because of—him.
Burning Deceptions, book three in the Burning Torments series, is a provocative and fun tale of two men, different in so many ways, who take a chance on each other. When they let go of the masks of duty, family, and be true to themselves, will they find heartbreak underneath or expose the love they both deserve?
MM Romance. Includes: age gap, opposites attract, first times, meeting under false pretenses, a ton of cousins with a story for every occasion, small town charm, and an HEA. This story, intended for 18+ audiences, can be read as a standalone, but it is recommended to read Burning Enemies first for better insights into the dynamics between all the friends from Hickory Bend who return as side characters.
