    About this ebook

    A forest ablaze with lust... A bond abloom through knowledge...

    Nineteen-year-old Syo is an aspiring conservationist, and a vicious adversary to destroyers of the environment. On his way back to his dorm from downtown, he stops in the woods to gather some data for his recently given report project.

    There, he comes across the log cabin of a rugged and reclusive woodsman named Jack. Tall, burly, and bearded, he’s the epitome of a cliché lumberjack. Syo instantly detests him, a killer of the woods, but is also strangely aroused by his masculine beauty and aura.

    But there’s more to Jack than muscles and an axe, and without even trying, he shakes everything that Syo knows about life and himself. Perhaps one night, two strong hands, and a touch of wisdom can provide the succor that the boy can’t refuse.

    Reader Advisory: This book contains explicit homoerotic scenes. For the sake of avoiding spoilers, let’s just say that the spice level is pretty high.

      Dedication

      Dedicated to the two best friends I could ever ask for, Candis and Brittany. You two have supported me for many years and believed in me when I doubted myself. This ebook could not have happened if I didn’t have two strong pillars like you.

      Also to Kay Berrisford and Erzabet Bishop, fellow authors who also pushed me to keep going, no matter how many rejections I faced.

      Root of Hatred

      The almost overwhelming scent of pine smacked him in the face as soon as he got out of his Honda Civic Hybrid, and Syo was determined to gather some samples and data for his class report. He admitted that his car wasn’t ideal for forest terrain, but there was no way that he’d leave that baby on the side of the road. He’d just finished making payments on it. He didn’t plan on staying for very long, though. He was actually on his way back to the dormitory from a café downtown, and he figured that he’d get an early start on his report with some field research. He tied his khaki-brown hair into a short ponytail, ready to go. With pencil, pad, manila folder of notes, and Canon digital camera already in the shotgun seat, he decided to start with some observation, and leave his tools in the back seat for later.

      Autumn was kind to him that late afternoon, allowing him to wear a two-layered tee with cargo pants and some black leather boots. He hated when things like temperature stifled his style, as simple as it was.
