Being a firefighter is not just a job for me. It’s a mission. Sure, most of the time, I’m looked at as the comedic relief around the station. But I take my job seriously. As soon as that bell rings and I put on my protective gear, I’m all business. I have to be. One false move could cost a life. Rescue Four is not just good at what we do. We’re the best in Williamsport.
One night, it all goes wrong. A deadly fire almost kills my best friend and squadmate, Corey. A fire I know with my entire being is the result of arson.
As the squad investigator at Rescue Four, it’s my responsibility to get to the bottom of what happened that night. When the leading investigator at headquarters shows himself useless, I resort to working this investigation with Jocelyn, Corey’s twin sister. It’s enough figuring out how I’m going to solve this case while also keeping her safe. The more significant challenge is figuring out how to get her to trust that I won’t hurt her like the men in her past.

Let’s face it, men can’t be trusted. Not when it comes to matters of the heart. That’s not me being bitter or anything. It’s just a reality that I’ve learned from experience. Now, I use my skills as a private investigator to help women find out the truth about their partners. I’m happy doing it, and it affords me a good living.
I want to make it clear that I don’t hate all men. I do believe the majority of them are unapologetic cheaters. As such, I don’t have any false notions of riding off into the sunset with one or getting my happily ever after. It’s an easy stance to keep up as long as I stay away from the one man who brings out a longing in me I didn’t know was still there.
Distance proves difficult when I discover someone is after Rescue Four, and that same someone is responsible for my brother’s injury. Once I step in to help Don, I have to remind myself falling for him is not an option. No matter how many nights he ends up in my bed.
Love only leads to heartbreak.
Unfortunately, I soon have to contend that Don is not only good at putting out fires. He’s adept when it comes to starting them too. The fiery blaze of want and desire he ignites deep in my belly is inevitable. Somehow, I have to figure out how to protect my heart in all of this and not become another victim of the arsonist or Don’s charms.
