Crash of Rhinos
Two men. One tent. No escape.
In the heart of the African bush, enemies collide in a slow-burn MM romance where pride gives way to passion—and one night changes everything.
When a disgraced new lodge manager arrives at the exclusive Limbavati Safari Lodge, seasoned game ranger Erik immediately feels the shift. Timothy Collins is sharp, guarded, and unrelentingly in control—everything Erik can’t stand… and everything he can’t seem to look away from.
What begins as a territorial power struggle between two dominant men simmers into something far more dangerous when they’re forced to share a tent on a remote wildlife filming assignment. In the heat of the African bushveld, resentment collides with lust, and one long night under canvas blurs every line they’ve drawn.
But raw attraction is just the spark. Beneath their armours lie past wounds, unspoken truths, and an emotional vulnerability neither man dares to show. As tempers cool and passion ignites, Erik and Tim must decide if what began as friction can survive in the light of day—or if it’s doomed to disappear with the dawn.
Set against the sweeping, sun-drenched landscapes of the South African wilderness, A Crash of Rhinos is a steamy, slow-burn MM romance filled with emotional tension, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers chemistry, and a satisfying, hard-won redemption arc. Perfect for fans of queer romance where desire runs deep, dominance is met with resistance, and love is as untamed as the land itself.
Tropes: Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, only one bed, workplace romance, alpha vs. alpha, hurt/comfort, emotional redemption, safari lodge setting, slow burn, MM erotic tension.
Perfect for readers who love: Steamy MM romance, queer wilderness love stories, emotionally complex alpha protagonists, rugged settings, and stories where heat and heart collide.

Reader Reactions

I devoured this in one sitting—tense, tender, and unbearably hot. These two men broke me and then put me back together.
JENNY DE LUCA, Cape Town

Hot, emotional, a bit messy—like real people falling in love when they least expect it. Loved the setting, loved the characters. I need more of this.
