He’s the leader she can’t resist, and the friend she’s secretly loved for years. When duty calls, will they finally risk it all?
Fire Chief Reese Carpenter—leader, teacher, mentor, and relentless jokester. He’s always the steady hand in their chaotic firehouse, keeping everyone grounded even when the heat’s on. But when a crisis shatters his carefully controlled world, it’s Eileen he turns to for support.
Paramedic Eileen Ballantine had heard plenty of stories about the elusive fire chief, but meeting Reese in the flesh is a surprise. With lives on the line, she expects discipline and focus—not laughter and lingering glances that make her pulse race. She has a job to do, but Reese has a way of drawing her attention, making her wonder if his charm is hiding a heart that’s as lonely as hers.
But when Reese defies protocol and races into a burning building, Eileen’s heart nearly stops. Can she keep her feelings buried, or will her secret be exposed in the firelight?
