An Herbalist. A Firefighter. An unexpected love so hot…neither one can walk away…
Growing up, Whispering Pines was my home away from home, but now that I’m back, I feel like a stranger. There are perks to being a stranger, though… No one bothers you.
That is, until the pesky Firefighter kept showing up to check on things. He knew my grandmother well and helped her out from time to time. Now, he keeps finding reasons to help me.
After a while, I started finding things for him to do so he’d stay. There’s an attraction there, but he’s dedicated to his job. An incredibly dangerous job.
When others run from fire, he runs to it, and he loves it.
I can’t be with someone I’m always afraid of losing, but he makes me feel hot from the inside out with every glance, every touch… I wonder, can I trust him?
If it doesn’t work out, or something terrible happens to him on the job, will he be worth getting burned?
