Held In The Fire: A MM Romantic Thiller

By Samantha VanGundy

Held in the Fire
An MM Romantic Thriller - Book One of the Guarded Hearts Series
By Samantha VanGundy

He escaped the fists. But not the fear.

Jesse thought he'd found safety flipping burgers in a nowhere-town diner. But survival isn't living-and Frank, his violent boss, made sure of that. Bruised and cornered, Jesse runs. Straight into the arms of a stranger.

Gray doesn't ask questions. He sees too much in Jesse's eyes-because he's been there. Once a soldier. Now a rescuer in the shadows. He offers Jesse safety... and something Jesse doesn't trust anymore: choice.

But safety has a price.
And love is the most dangerous mission of all.

As Jesse uncovers the truth about himself-and others like him-he's drawn into something far bigger. And when a rescue goes wrong, he'll have to decide: hide in fear, or fight for those still trapped in the fire.

For readers of slow-burn MM romance, edge-of-your-seat thrillers, and found-family redemption stories-Held in the Fire will grab your heart and never let go.
