Finding Gage

Gage is a firefighter. A rescuer. When he helps a homeless man on the coldest day in 10 years, he never expected to get his life-and heart-turned upside down. The sexy Native American artist quickly becomes much more important to Gage than he ever thought possible. But Gage has been burned before, and his history threatens to drive Lee away.

Lee never thought he'd be homeless. Embarrassed to ask his family for help, he's surprised when a stranger offers his home for the night. Before long, Lee finds himself falling for the hunky fireman. Gage is easy on the eyes and easy to love. But while Lee might be done with his last boyfriend, the relationship is far from over.

Lee's former lover stands between him and happiness no matter how hard he tries to forget. Gage yearns to help Lee overcome his heartbreak so they can be together. But their insecurities threaten to turn the heat growing between them into ashes.

Romance is no walk in the park for these two. Can they build a life together despite old flames? Or will their relationship get shot down before it has a chance to blossom?
