About Riding High in Orlando
.99 Preorder Special! (Release date: 10/24/2025)
Opposites attract. Secrets can’t stay buried. And this vacation fling might just be the ride of their lives.
A single rider line wasn’t supposed to change his life.
But when Luke climbs into a roller coaster seat in Orlando, the stranger beside him takes his breath away.
Luke is a wide-eyed college kid chasing thrills on vacation. Brett is the brooding local who knows better than to get attached. They couldn’t be more different—except for the spark neither of them can ignore, and the chemistry that burns hotter than the Florida sun.
What starts as a theme park fling soon spirals into something deeper. But Brett’s past hides a truth that could break Luke’s heart before it ever has a chance to heal. And when summer ends, distance and secrets threaten to rip them apart.
Months later, fate—and a few meddling friends—throw them back together. Luke has to decide if the man who walked away deserves another chance. Brett has to risk everything by finally telling the truth he’s kept hidden.

A vacation fling that turns into forever
