Flirting with Fire by Grace Kilian Delaney
A Shore Thing Novel, Book 3
A stuntman with a love for fire.
A yoga teacher in search of zen.
A holiday season neither will forget.
Stunt performer and self-declared badass, Tate Astbury returns to his hometown to spend another dreaded Thanksgiving with his dad. But his father forgets and makes other plans, resigning Tate to a quiet and depressing holiday alone unless he can find someplace else to celebrate.
When Tate’s mischievous friend learns about the unfortunate twist, he dares Tate to enter a radio contest to become a fake boyfriend for a desperate caller’s holiday dinner, and Tate never turns down a dare.
Endre Michel is a mess. His yoga business is on the cusp of ruin, and his moms are visiting from out of state for the holiday, intent on meeting his boyfriend, a person Endre invented. Through the contest, he meets Tate, a crude, tattooed older man who plays the role of doting boyfriend so well, Endre suspects and hopes it’s not all for show.
Neither man can deny the unintended connection, and they struggle to overcome the distance between Tate’s put-together Hollywood career and the chaos surrounding Endre’s unsteady future—a situation that intensifies when an unthinkable tragedy uncovers a dark and painful truth.
Will Tate and Endre’s future together perish in flames, or can their love rise from the ashes?
Flirting with Fire is a standalone holiday romance with several cups of angst, questionable jokes, a bird with a wicked sense of humor, a bed with loud, squeaky springs, and an HFN/HEA ending.

“You apologize a lot, you know that? Shit rarely goes to plan. It’s all good. Well, not the headache thing, but you get what I’m saying. Why don’t you haul your ass to bed, and I’ll catch up with you later?” Tate kept his voice quiet, and Endre could kiss him for it. He was sensitive, caring, and sexy, a complete package, and Endre couldn’t figure out why no one had snatched Tate as their boyfriend.
“You don’t have to be polite. I’ll understand if you want to back out of the date.” Endre’s head throbbed, but that was better than the stabbing, incapacitating skull-crushing pain that sometimes happened.
“Not sure if anyone’s accused me of being polite before. Might be a first.” He shrugged. “And hell yeah, I’m still on for the date, unless you’re the one politely telling me to fuck off?” Tate’s brutal candor was absolutely welcome, and it caused Endre to do something he’d never done when his head hurt like this: laugh.
“No, I’m not telling you to fuck off.”
“If you’re free tomorrow afternoon, I’m shooting a fire gag in Lawrence. I don’t recommend coming if you’ve got a headache. We’re blowing shit up in one of the former textile mills. It’s gonna be epic.” Tate’s enthusiasm brought another smile to Endre’s lips.
Endre knew little about what it took to be a stunt performer other than Tate probably put his life at risk every day. How did one even live that way? He squinted at Tate, the meager lighting in the kitchen intensifying the pain. “I’ll be there.”
“Sweet. What’s your number? I’ll text you with the deets.” Tate typed in the number Endre gave him. “You take care of yourself, aight? I’ll see myself out.” Tate tilted his head, motioning to the door but didn’t move. He appeared conflicted, dismissing whatever he thought with an eye roll and light shake of his head. “If you can’t make it, I’d still like to get together before Turkey Day. We should probably know more about each other if you really want to pull the boyfriend thing off.” He swiped a hand across his short dark hair, possible regrowth from a shave that gave Tate a sublime badass quality. The fuzz of the newly grown hair would feel wonderful under Endre’s fingers as he held Tate’s head between his thighs.
Stupid, annoying cockblocking migraine.
“I’ll be there tomorrow.” No way was he missing his chance at visiting a movie set and seeing Tate at work.
