He came home to escape his past. He never expected to fall for the one man he was supposed to hate.

Ryder Cross has spent three years running from Cresson Point, the family he left behind, and the secrets he was never ready to face. Now he’s back—and within hours of returning, he’s pulled over for speeding by the last man he ever wanted to see: Jace Porter.

Jace is no longer the angry teenager Ryder remembers. He’s a disciplined detective, respected by the town, and the former boyfriend of Ryder’s sister. He should be completely off-limits.

But their old rivalry has always carried an intensity neither man could explain.

One heated confrontation changes everything.

Suddenly, Ryder and Jace are fighting an attraction neither of them can ignore. For Jace, the stakes are even higher. He has spent years building the life everyone expected of him—until Ryder comes crashing back into it and forces him to confront the truth he has spent years hiding.

Between a protective family, a judgmental small town, Ryder’s reputation for chaos, Jace’s badge and career, and Sienna’s unresolved heartbreak, falling in love could cost them everything.

But some secrets become impossible to keep.

As Ryder learns to stop running and Jace finds the courage to finally live honestly, they must decide whether their love is worth facing the people—and fears—standing between them.

CHASING HIS FIRE is a steamy small-town MM romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forbidden attraction, a closeted detective, a rebellious motorcycle-riding hero, family drama, emotional self-discovery, and a love that refuses to stay hidden.
