Rumor has it that Texas just got a little hotter! Fans of Tessa Bailey and K. Bromberg will fall for this sexy story of mistaken identity, electric attraction, and irresistible romance in the first installment of the addictive new series, Austin Heat.

Jake is desperate to rewrite his past with women and leave behind the media storm surrounding his off-the-field antics that cloud his potential. He’s done with the stream of models, actresses and NFL cheerleaders that have warmed his bed since he made a name for himself as starting quarterback for the University of Texas. He desperately wants to meet a normal girl in his hometown of Austin.

After moving to Austin to be the hired girlfriend of one of her long-term escort clients, Rakell finds herself wishing she could live a normal life with an average guy. Turned off by the billionaire clients she’s been serving for the last five years, she longs to get out of the business and build a life where she doesn’t live in the shadows of her escort persona.

Their worlds collide and the spice is off the charts. “Pretty boy” Jake Skyler has met his match with saucy-mouthed, Rakell McCarthy. Both think they’ve fallen for an average person. Both are wrong! What happens when their physical connection explodes, their hearts take charge and the secrets they are concealing are revealed.

If this were a TV show (it is not…yet ) think: a naughty version of “Virgin River” hooks up with “Friday Night Lights,” add in a little “Yellowstone” toothpick-chewin’ and you got the vibe of this steamy Austin-based series that follows Jake and Rakell, along with a host of other intriguing characters, as they search for The One.

Things are about to get heated!

“Great season Jake! You guys were the bomb!” someone yelled as Jake sprang up the stairs, so happy to be back at his hometown gym Lift-ATX, the most badass gym in Austin.

“Thanks, dude!” he yelled back.

He didn’t recognize the guy, but he’d become accustomed to being recognized himself, especially here in Austin. Jake made it a point to try to get to know some of the most dedicated local fans, especially because most Texans were Cowboys fans. So when the rare Texan rooted for him because he had played for UT in college, he made sure to acknowledge them warmly.
