About this ebook

From USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix comes a swoony, small-town firefighter romance packed with heat, heart & all the feels!

It all started with a bee sting, and ended with a firefighter who changed everything.

When a bee sting sends me into a near-anaphylactic shock, I crash into a boulder. Enter Kincaid Greene — rugged, swoon-worthy hotshot firefighter, all calm strength, quiet confidence and my unexpected hero. Even in my dazed, half-conscious state, my hormones take notice. Extra points: my dog instantly adores him.

Kincaid is the kind of small-town hero who falls hard and doesn’t hesitate. Protective, loyal, and determined to win my heart one slow, sizzling kiss at a time. He’s not afraid of the trust issues I’ve built brick by brick. But trusting a man like him—one who burns this hot—feels like playing with fire.

Too bad my heart doesn’t get the memo.

What starts as a slow burn turns into chemistry that smolders. Every touch feels like striking a match with an emotional pull we can’t ignore.

A swoony, steamy small-town firefighter romance with a hotshot hero who falls first, slow-burn tension, emotional angst, heart-racing chemistry, and a love that burns too hot to walk away from.

*A full-length, standalone romance.

Ratings and reviews

This was a beautiful, emotional story. Tori and Kincaid both had father issues from childhood, her’s a bit more complicated. An unexpected meeting, an undeniable attraction, a common love for dogs and one fundraiser date had these two slowly building a relationship. This has wonderful family and friendships, relatable and realistic characters, a complex, moving and heartwarming storyline, healing, humour, sweetness and steam.

Loved it ! 2 wounded souls find their way toward one another. Great writing by miss Croix; this story is gripping,optional with little drama that will make you smile and swoon often. Same feel good, small town feel, with precise descriptions of the Alaskan scenery. Really liked Kincaid and Tori's characters; they have an unusual meet cute, awesome chemistry and deeply felt conversations. Recommended book and series :) I received a copy of this book and leaving an honest and voluntary review.

4.25 stars. From the moment that they first saw each other there was an attraction between them, I liked how life brought them together and seeing things develop between them. I wanted to hug the both of them at different times and liked the support they both had, I enjoyed seeing the love and strong bonds in this and catching up with previous characters. I am voluntarily leaving this review after receiving an ARC.
