Heat for Sale by Leta Blake

Originally published under the same title through Leta Blake's former pen name Blake Moreno.

Heat can be sold but love is earned.

In a world where heats are sold for profit, Adrien is a university student in need of funding. With no family to fall back on, he reluctantly allows the university's matcher to offer his first heat for auction online. Anxious, but aware this is the reality of life for his kind, Adrien hopes whoever wins will be good to him.

Heath—a wealthy, older man—buys Adrien’s heat with an ulterior motive. When their undeniable passion shocks him, Heath begins to fall for the young man. Adrien doesn't know what to make of the mysterious stranger he's spending his first heat with, but he’s soon swept away and surrenders to Heath entirely.

Later, Heath secrets him away to his immense and secluded home where Heath grows to love Adrien. Unaware of Heath's history, Adrien begins to fall as well. As their love blossoms, the shadows of the past loom.

Can Heath keep his new love once Adrien discovers his secrets?

Heat for Sale is a stand-alone m/m erotic romance by Leta Blake. Infused with a du Maurier Rebecca-style secret, it features a well-realized fictional universe, an age-gap, and scorching hot scenes.
