She swore off romance, but she didn’t see the fireman coming.
Fresh off a messy divorce and fleeing her New York life, Nova Walker is searching for a fresh start—and maybe a little peace. She finds both in small-town Arcadia Creek, Texas, working at her Aunt Gigi’s diner. Cowboys? Expected. The ridiculously handsome firefighter with a cocky grin and an infuriating ability to get under her skin? Not so much.
Dusty Hayes is as Texan as they come—charming, competitive, and maddeningly sure of himself. Every time Nova thinks she’s got him figured out, he turns the tables, their friendly rivalry sparking more feelings than she’s ready to handle. She might be tempted to let her guard down, but with two young kids depending on her, Nova knows she can’t risk her heart again.
Will their heated battles spark a lasting connection, or will Nova extinguish the flames before they have a chance to grow?
