In this spicy, forced proximity small town romance, she didn't know where one date with a firefighter would lead…but she sure didn't plan on getting a new roommate who wakes up early to make her coffee, has a jawline so sharp it should come with a warning label, and a heart that wants only her, completely.

Nearly one year after becoming a full-time makeup artist, Evie Baker did not expect to be at a photoshoot rubbing oil and glitter all over an alarmingly attractive firefighter, but she needs to take every job to pay the bills and prove she’s successful before her mom chips away any more self-confidence.

Cue Leo Black. A six-four firefighter with emerald eyes that catch every detail and who lives without a care in the world—or so he wants everyone to think. Underneath the suspenders and protective allure, he’s struggling with secrets that threaten to burn everything down.

When a work injury lands Leo in Evie’s townhouse for recovery, she sees new layers of Leo begin to mend and sparks start to fly. But there’s uncertainty on both sides. Will she be able to take the risk and ask for what she really wants from him? Can he break through his deep-seated barriers?

She’s not doing this to play nurse or fix him. He’s not staying because he wants to be saved.

But they might just end up healing each other.
