Cinder: Some Sparks Refuse to Die After the Fire.
(2026)(A book in the Fireman Of Phoenix series)
A novel by Colton Drake
Two breakups. One bad idea they can’t stop thinking about.
Tyler Prescott doesn’t want connection—he wants distraction. Something hot enough to burn the name of his ex out of his chest. Something he can control. Justin Brooks wants the same thing. No promises. No feelings. Just heat sharp enough to drown out the past he left behind. What they get instead is tension that coils tight and low. Looks that linger too long. Silence that hums. Bodies that know before minds catch up.
They tell themselves it’s temporary.
They swear it’s just want.
They lie.
Because wanting turns into needing. And every almost-touch feels like a dare neither of them is brave enough to refuse. The restraint is brutal. The hunger worse. And when the line finally snaps, it won’t be gentle. Firefighters know how to handle flames. They’re terrible at surviving desire.
Cinder is a high-heat, slow-burn MM romance about rebound lust, emotional wreckage, and two men who should know better—but burn anyway.
Genre: Gay Romance
