Publisher Description
“Whether making my heart melt, or my head burst into flames, Annabeth Albert draws the reader in and keeps them captivated.” —Gay Book Reviews
The camping trip from hell may be the first stop on the road to happily-ever-after.
Navy SEAL Renzo Bianchi has a soft spot for Canaan Finley, and not only because the man makes a mean smoothie. He’s the first guy to get Renzo’s motor revving in a long time. But when he agrees to Canaan’s insane charade—one all-access fake boyfriend, coming right up—he never expects more than a fling.
Creating a hot Italian SEAL boyfriend to save face seemed like a good idea…until his friends called Canaan’s bluff. Now he’s setting off into the woods with the very man who inspired his deception, and Canaan is not the outdoorsy type. The sparks are already flying when a flash flood separates them from their group, leaving Renzo and Canaan very much trapped…very much alone in the wilderness.
Working together to come up with a plan for survival is sexier than either of them expects. But back in the real world, being a couple is bringing its own set of hazards…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Albert throws a gun-shy Navy SEAL and a flirtatious nursing student together in the strong final Out of Uniform contemporary. Renzo Bianchi is Canaan Finley's fantasy man come to life. After overhearing that Renzo is bisexual, Canaan coyly asks him to hang out. Restless and interested, Renzo takes Canaan up on his invitation. But their impromptu adventure ends in a deeper attraction instead of a hook-up. Canaan then invites Renzo on a weekend camping trip, but there's a catch: Canaan needs Renzo to pretend they're a couple in front of his old bandmates. Despite serious misgivings, Renzo agrees to the charade. The two head out a fake couple but return, after a harrowing experience, deeply bonded and truly together. Canaan's frankness about sex helps Renzo overcome his hang-ups, filling their relationship with laughter, eroticism, and a love worth fighting to keep when Renzo's next assignment threatens to separate them permanently. Albert pushes Renzo and Canaan to an emotional openness that makes this a happily-ever-after built on more than just explosive chemistry.
