[Raging Fire 03] • Franco · Flashover

Franco Giardano had been running from himself for decades, but a steamy kiss with his secret

crush ruins all his plans. No longer able to keep his attraction under wraps, he does what he

does best and escapes back to Denver.

Rico Donati had lusted after Franco since high school, before he even confirmed his friend was

gay. Over the years, though, he hasn’t been able to break down the closeted man’s defenses.

Not until that kiss. No turning back now.

Life intervenes just as Rico and Franco are ready to make their move. Suddenly, Rico finds

himself outside his comfort zone, raising a ten-year-old girl and caring for his sick cousin.

Franco’s close proximity and desire to help mean the world to Rico. Having the man unable to

resist him didn’t hurt either, until a secret from Franco’s past threatens to rip them apart.

Will he be able to forgive, and to overcome all hurdles to give love a chance to blossom?
