Falling for your best friend’s crush really ruins your matchmaking.
When Alyssa’s life in Boston falls apart, her long-distance friend Daniela’s house in Vermont is supposed to be just a quick stay while she escapes her ex and gets her life together. But an encounter with the gorgeous, rugged, and not-too-approachable Jade on the way only gets more interesting when Alyssa finds out Jade is the crush Daniela’s been talking to her about—until an incident split Jade off from the local community.
Eager to repay her friend, Alyssa teams up with Jade’s best friend Cat to get Jade and Daniela together. But Alyssa wasn’t planning to get jealous about it working.
Jade is done with Vermont. After small-town drama drove her friend Cat out of the community, she’s seen enough, and is planning her move in secret. But the arrival of a bright-eyed new girl in town with an amount of enthusiasm Jade cannot comprehend might be an opportunity to get Cat her friendships back before she goes.
Only problem is that Alyssa is hard to shake once Jade starts talking to her. And so are the feelings she really, really doesn’t want to catch.
Burned from Both Ends is a small-town matchmaker romance with jealousy so thick you could cut it with a knife, a queer small town with more drama than you could shake a candle at, and a matchmaker plot gone wrong in the best way. Content warnings for open-door sex scenes, an off-screen abusive ex, childhood depression, very nearly a bad car accident, very definitely a bad slap accident, and a sexy scar resulting from it.
Genre: Gay Romance
