One bad breakup. One unexpected firefighter. One second chance she never planned to take.

Reese:

They say I’m crazy. That’s the story my ex told after our breakup—loud enough that the whole town believed him.

So maybe breaking into his house to get my things back doesn’t help my case, but I refuse to let him keep pieces of my life hostage.

I don’t expect to be caught.

I definitely don’t expect his new roommate—naked, broad-shouldered, and devastatingly calm about finding me trespassing in the middle of the day.

Jaxon isn’t what I’m ready for. He’s heat and safety and everything I swore I was done believing in. One look at him makes me want to risk my heart all over again.

But I’ve already loved once and paid for it.

No matter how much my body betrays me, I can’t cave. Not again.

Jaxon:

I step out of the shower and find a woman breaking into my house—and just like every fire I’ve ever run into, I know I won’t walk away unchanged.

Reese is sharp-tongued and wound tight, carrying scars no one ever taught her how to heal. The second our eyes meet, something in me locks into place. I don’t question it. I never do.

I’m a firefighter. I run toward danger for a living.
And Reese is danger in the most tempting form.

She doesn’t fall into my arms the way women usually do. She fights it. Pushes back. Keeps her distance. That only makes me want her more. She’s running from something, and I’m not the kind of man who lets someone burn alone.

She thinks love is a mistake she can’t afford to make again.
I think she just hasn’t met a man willing to fight for her.
