Starting over shouldn’t be this complicated.
After twenty years as an Army Ranger, I’m back in my hometown of Mount Hope, settling into my new life as a firefighter. My meddling sisters and friends all have opinions about my future, but it’s Caleb—my younger coworker tasked with training me—who truly gets me.
Caleb is everything I’ve spent a lifetime avoiding, stirring feelings I’ve long denied. I’ve never even kissed a guy—until him. Now, sneaking around with Caleb has me taking risks I never thought I’d crave.
This was supposed to be a fling, but our connection keeps deepening on and off the clock. Can I figure out my life and keep Caleb in it? Or will this sexy, dangerous bond we share burn out before it’s truly real?
