Disputed Boundaries

A British soldier and an American adventurer test the borders of desire.

San Juan Island, 1869

An international border dispute with no battles or skirmishes? The occupation of San Juan Island was proving to be Lieutenant Braxton Thorne's most uneventful assignment as a Royal Marine. Which meant plenty of time to fool around with his fiancée Tilda.

American adventurer Gideon Roberts was just passing through San Juan Island on his way to his next job – and his next guy. He could stay, work on a farm, but why? A free spirit craved new experiences, new places, new men.

A chance encounter unleashes unfamiliar desires. Braxton has never been with a man. Gideon has never wanted to be with just one man. Now they find themselves in a war over the boundaries of their hearts.

Disputed Boundaries is a male-male with bisexual awakening, enemies-to-lovers historical romance.

The novelette is part of Regina Kammer's Stories from the San Juan Islands collection of standalone short reads set in the San Juan Islands.
