An English Bear in Berlin by K.C. Wells

His life just blew up. Berlin is about to blow his mind.
A scandal threatens to destroy Kieran Walsh’s career and marriage overnight. With his life in ruins and the truth about his desires finally impossible to ignore, the quiet English academic does the only thing he can.
He runs.
Berlin is supposed to be an escape.
But he arrives just as Folsom Europe takes over the city—leather in the streets, harnesses and heavy boots, dark clubs thick with music, sweat, and possibility, and hungry eyes.
Then he meets Stefan.
Completely at home in Berlin’s wildest weekend, Stefan is older, confident, and looks at Kieran as if he’s already decided to keep him.
He sees straight through Kieran’s nerves and curiosity, drawing him into a world of late-night bars, charged glances, rough edges, and raw desire. What begins as tentative exploration quickly ignites into something far more dangerous—a connection neither of them expected.
For the first time in his life, Kieran isn’t hiding.
But in a city built for freedom, fantasy, and the reckless heat of Folsom weekend, the biggest risk might not be letting go…
It might be falling hard for the man who showed him how to be himself.
