Slow burn friends to lovers
This is a sweet read with complex characters who are dealing with issues from the past.
Avery sees himself as the resident weirdo who has a constant battle to be taken seriously. The whole town knows his history and his sexuality. His parents kicked him out when he came out and his Aunt and Uncle took him in.
All he’s ever wanted was someone to be proud to be seen with him in public.
Lincoln is a closeted local firefighter with secrets. His father is released from prison after serving time for beating up Linc’s boyfriend 8 years ago.Linc was present at the assault and ran, and kept running. He meets Avery at a false alarm fire call and they form a friendship. They both play an online game and Avery isn’t aware that Linc is the player that he games with.
When there’s a possibility that Avery is going to leave town Lincoln realises he needs to step up and admit his truth.
