Fire in My Heart

The last thing I need is another person to protect. But for her, I might make an

exception…


Hiring the sunny marketer, the one with boundless enthusiasm, wasn’t my idea. 

 

My dad insisted on hiring Charlotte. Her mission? To market our fledgling Christmas tree

farm. My mission?

 

Figure out why she’s triggering all my cop instincts. 

 

Something is telling me to keep a close eye on her—especially when she takes up

temporary residence on the farm. And I’m sure it has nothing to do with how she looks in

an elf costume. 

 

Well, I’m pretty sure, anyway.

 

The point is, I have too many responsibilities to even think about romance, no matter

how much she’s making me wish I could.

 

But protecting people is what I do. So, when whatever—or whoever—she’s running from

catches up to her, I know I can keep her safe.

 

What remains to be seen is if I’ll be able to protect myself (and my heart) when it’s time

to let her go…

 

A steamy small-town second chance romance packed with childhood crush, bad boy/good girl, and opposites attract tropes, this story delivers forced proximity, unresolved heartbreak, and a gruff, tattooed hero rebuilding both a patio and a broken heart. Expect emotional slow burn, lingering first love, redemption, small-town tension, and a passionate rekindling of buried feelings.
