Ethan is a grad student stuck in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for the summer. Though he's thrilled about his teaching assistant position at the university, he's not at all excited about the record-breaking heat wave that's plaguing the area.

In the midst of an oppressively hot summer night, Ethan meets fellow grad student Marcus. While their initial encounters are scorching, can two busy students have more than a heated seasonal fling? Or could it be the beginning of something that will last beyond the stormy southern nights?

Summer Heat was previously published under the title Heat Wave: Tuscaloosa.
