Express Heat

A midnight train. Two strangers. One night that changes everything.

Express Heat is the second book in the Public Connections series—a collection of high-heat, emotionally complex M/M stories about unexpected intimacy, public settings, and the moments that crack us open.

When Finn boards the overnight train from York, he’s expecting silence, solitude, and maybe a bottle of cheap wine to drown out the mess in his head.
What he isn’t expecting is his seatmate: Ezra—hot, charming, nosy, and impossible to ignore.

The conversation starts awkward. The chemistry builds fast. The rules Finn lives by? They’re about to go off the rails.

What to expect in Express Heat:

Slow-burn tension that turns molten under pressure
Strangers-to-lovers story set entirely on an overnight train
Flirty, funny, and emotionally vulnerable dialogue
Only one sleeping berth (yes, really)
Hidden identities, quiet secrets, and one unexpected reveal
Characters who earn each other’s trust through real conversation
High-heat scenes with heart and honesty
A standalone novella with a guaranteed HEA (no cliffhanger)

For fans of:

Public sex with private connection
Opposites attract with emotional payoff
Characters who lead with humor and hide their heartbreak
Steamy M/M romance where vulnerability is just as sexy as the heat

Part of the Private Encounters universe—but can be read completely on its own.
If you loved Unexpected Sparks or Silent Cravings, you’ll fall hard for Express Heat.

All aboard. It’s going to be a hot ride.
