What We Keep: A Small Town Firefighter Romance
By J.H. Croix

Elsa Whitney grew up next door, and I spent years half in love with her. After she moved away, my world came apart.

I buried my grief, focused on my son, and rebuilt what I could from the ashes.

A grumpy small-town firefighter raising his son alone. The girl next door he secretly loved in high school, and the spare room that forces them under the same roof.
Elsa Whitney grew up next door, and I spent years half in love with her. After she moved away, my world came apart. My father's heart gave out before I was ready to lose him, and a wildfire tore through our family's resort and took my sister with it. I buried my grief, focused on my son, and rebuilt what I could from the ashes.
When Elsa came back to town, before I could think it through, I offered her a place to stay.
Now the girl who smiles like she owns the sun is my roommate. As a hotshot firefighter, a single dad, and the man trying to rebuild a struggling resort and hold together my family, I don't have room for distractions. But Elsa doesn't just get under my skin. She settles into my home and cracks open the locked corners of my heart.
She's carrying her own losses. What starts as roommates turns into something built on shared scars and stolen nights. Letting her in means giving her the power to break me. I've already survived a lifetime of loss, and I'm not sure my heart can survive falling in love.
Perfect for readers who want a deeply emotional slow burn romance with grumpy sunshine tension, single dad swooning, and a love story set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Alaskan wilderness. Ideal for fans of Elsie Silver, Devney Perry, and Lucy Score.
