I’m not gay. This is nothing but a game. Problem is, we’re both desperate…
My life is a wreck. I’ve taken a job doing wildlands firefighting in middle-of-nowhere Copper Creek, Alaska, in hopes that it will help me sort things out. But I’m broke.
And I don’t know where I’ll live after the summer finishes.
When the fire chief offers a free cabin to whoever wins a drunken game of gay chicken, I’m all in. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to win that cabin. I’m never going to get a chance like that again.
But Dex is equally determined. And the game doesn’t end that night.
Soon we’re both getting deeper and deeper into this mess, and even though we’re both straight, we go way further than either of us intended.
Until it’s hard to sort out what’s true and what’s just part of the game…
Almost True is a steamy MM romance featuring sexy firefighters, a double bi-awakening, hurt/comfort, and only one bed. Use the Look Inside feature for trigger warnings.

This story was inspired by the classic story that went around: “In high school, I was dared to play ‘Gay Chicken,’ which is where two straight guys pretend to be gay, and the first one to chicken out loses.
The other guy and I are both really stubborn, and neither one of us wanted to lose.”
“We’ve been married 14 years and we run a bed and breakfast in Vermont with our adopted daughter. If that dude doesn’t chicken out soon, I’m going to start to suspect that he’s actually gay.”
