Love will test you
JULIAN Being captain of the One-Thirteen firehouse is everything to me. After a draining year, however, I decide my personal life needs a bit of a kickstart.
Signing up to the Rainbow Reach charity is certainly out of my comfort zone, but when a young woman asks me to walk her down the aisle after her homophobic parents announce they’re boycotting her big day, I couldn’t be more honored.
What I don’t count on is her outrageous, gorgeous, and utterly infuriating younger brother flirting shamelessly with me the entire wedding.
But maybe a no strings attached encounter is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for. Except there seem to be strings after all, and one night doesn’t feel like enough.
Just look at how ridiculous our names are. Anything between us is destined to end in tragedy.
ROMEO I’m used to my parents treating my fabulous ass with zero respect. But trying to ruin my big sister’s big day? Nuh-uh, unforgivable.
Except I’m a lot less mad when Captain Daddy aka Julian Valentine appears like the literal hero he is. He might be doing this for my sister, but hello? I need a little rescuing as well, damn it!
It was just supposed to be one night of fun. However, when my life blows up in my face, Julian is unbelievably there once again to pick up the pieces.
I don’t want things to be weird when he’s done so much already, but he makes it so hard (yes, pun intended.) If he doesn’t let his guard down soon and trust my feelings for him are real, I think my heart is going to explode!
Just look at how romantic our names are. We’re destined to be together!
