Synopsis

He hides his grief behind charm and easy smiles. She’s spent her whole life surviving on her own. Falling in love is out of the question. The first time I laid eyes on Adele Jacks, she was staring down a wild animal, bold and unforgettable. She stole my breath before I even knew her name. And I'm the guy who doesn't lose his breath over anyone. I never planned to fall in love. Not ever . I’m the guy who laughs everything off, the charming cynic who hides his scars behind jokes. But Adele? She’s a force of nature who upends my life. She's tough, she's smart, and she's hiding something. She's the kind of wilderness guide who can out-hike me any day and stare down a grizzly without blinking. Before I know it, she’s working at my family’s wilderness resort—walls up, defenses sky-high. She’s slipping through the cracks in my heart every time I catch the vulnerability she tries to hide. The longer I know her, the harder it becomes to keep things light and uncomplicated the way I always have. Because underneath the flirting and easy smiles, I’ve spent years avoiding anything that feels too real. But with Adele, I want to protect her, claim her, and make the world safe for her. When a ghost from her past crosses our path, and I see the flash of something she thought she'd buried — I realize there's nothing I won't do to take care of her. Because somewhere between the slow burn, the reluctant sparks, and the small-town chaos, Adele became my forever. Scars and all. Even if falling for her means finally risking my own heart, too. A steamy, emotional small-town firefighter romance featuring a flirty wounded hero with hidden scars, a fierce heroine, forced proximity, slow-burn chemistry, found family, and a protective hero who falls hard and fights harder. *A full-length, standalone romance.
