Close Enough to Burn

By Lorenzo Bayless Clayton

Close Enough to Burn is a slow-burn, character-driven m nage romance that explores proximity, passion, and the evolving definition of love. When emotionally guarded designer Delilah West retreats to a coastal town after heartbreak, she finds herself entangled with Cassian Hart-a reclusive, brooding chef who opens her body before he opens his heart. Add in Emily, Cassian's best friend with a magnetic presence and a taste for unconventional connection, and what starts as simple escape becomes something deeper, more complex... and more tempting than Delilah imagined.

Set against the backdrop of crashing waves, candlelit kitchens, and glittering skylines, this novella blends sensual heat with emotional depth-and dares to ask what happens when you stop choosing between one love and another, and start choosing yourself.
