About This Book
Some fires you fight, some you let burn. With Calloway, all I want to do is feed the flames.
After thirty years as a firefighter and smokejumper, I’ve been forced into retirement by my injuries. Settling in Forestville was an easy decision, but what comes next? I have no clue who I am outside of my job.
When I meet Calloway, I recognize a kindred spirit. He’s hurting too, though for very different reasons. I wanna hug him, help him, hold him…and kiss the living daylights out of him because, god, he’s gorgeous.
But Calloway has created firebreaks around himself that are a bigger challenge than any burn I’ve ever faced. It’s gonna take time to convince him I’ll be a good friend…and an even better lover.
I've jumped out of planes into thousand-acre fires. Falling for Calloway? That's the scariest thing I've ever done. And I'm doing it without a parachute.
Befriending the Bear is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers MM romance between two older guys who find comfort with each other. This gay romance novel is the sixth book in the Forestville Silver Foxes series, a contemporary small town MM romance series featuring hot silver foxes and the men who fall in love with them. Each book can be read as a standalone.
