A past he couldnโt forget
Adam Barton is living his dream of working as a firefighter in his small Texas town, but a tragedy from his youth continues to haunt him. He decides New York City is the perfect place to start a new life and joins the FDNY, living and loving his own wayโno strings and nothing personal. Until he catches sight of Rico Estevez, the sexy chef with the mysterious smile who rocks his world. After one explosive night together, Adam craves anotherโฆ.And then another. The more he and Rico are together, the more Adam wants him.
A future he never imagined
Rico Estevez is living a lie. For years heโs hidden his sexuality, afraid to hurt the career of his politically ambitious father. Heโs the perfect Americanโthe best schools, top of his class and most importantly, to his father, a successful businessman. Who needs a boyfriend when sex is so easy to find? Starting a torrid love affair with Adam Barton isnโt a problem; neither one is looking toward forever. But Ricoโs father is about to get the chance of a lifetime and Rico feels forced to play by his rules.
Rules are made to be broken
Adam proves more unforgettable than Rico ever imagines, but he gives in to family pressures above personal desire. When a fire reunites them, both men discover their passion for each other hasnโt died; rather itโs stronger than ever. Want turns to need and something more dangerous to their heartsโlove. Adam and Rico know if they want to have it all, they can let no one and nothing stand in their way of a life together.
