The Firefighter's Flame

Can the flames of love be reignited?

Emma London

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. As much as I despise that phrase, it's fairly apt. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for Lila and Nolan, and honored she asked me to be her maid of honor, but it's just my luck that the best man is my ex-boyfriend. My high school sweetheart, to be exact. The one who dumped me when he left for college, then had the audacity to move back to Hollow Bridge with his new wife.

Fifteen years ago, I believed Ethan Carter was the one. Apparently, he didn't feel the same way about me. No one likes getting their heart broken, and Ethan stomped on mine. I gave up on love for a long time. Then I heard about his divorce and all the feelings I thought had vanished suddenly returned. All these years later and I still believe he's the one.

Ethan Carter

My ex-wife took everything in the divorce, including our dog. Thank God for Nolan Parker. We became best friends when he moved to Hollow Bridge, and I don't think I would have made it through the divorce without him. Now I'm privileged to return the favor as best man at his wedding. Yeah, I'm a little bitter about my own failed marriage, but that won't stop me from celebrating the happy couple.

Seeing Emma London again might stop me in my tracks. I hurt her deeply when I ended our relationship. What she doesn't know is how much I hurt myself when I left her. Even when I was married to Artemis, I never stopped thinking about Emma. She's the one who got away. The one I let get away. I won't make that mistake again.

If you believe in soulmates and second chances, then this closed-door romance novella is for you!
