Nial Hayes is the reliable one. The guy who answers emails at midnight, keeps six budgets in his head, and says yes when his friends insist a week in a mountain cabin will be “fun.”

Fun is not the word he’d use when he opens the door and meets Lester Reid.

Lester is all sharp lines and sharper comments, a city creature in an overpriced jacket who looks like he got lost on the way to a rooftop bar. He doesn’t want to be there. Nial doesn’t want to share a room with him. And the low, insistent pull of attraction under Nial’s skin? Absolutely not part of the plan.

Then the group hike takes a wrong turn.

The map stops making sense. Clouds roll in. What should have been a scenic trail turns into a problem, and the only person at Nial’s side when things start to go bad is the man who flirts like it is a dare and trusts like it is a crime.

As daylight thins and the air gets colder, the world shrinks to wet boots, bad decisions, and the warm, infuriating, magnetic body pressed too close in the dark. Nial, who has spent years living inside neat little lines, finds himself wanting something messy and terrifying. Lester, who has made an art of keeping his distance, has to decide what scares him more: the woods, or how safe he feels in someone else’s hands.

INCONVENIENT HEAT is a queer romance about getting lost, holding on, and wanting the one person you never planned for, so badly it feels like its own kind of danger.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
