Synopsis

"This is a nice fluffy romance, but it is also a little deeper than that, I didn't think I'd find myself in tears reading this book, but I was and more than once." --Goodreads reviewer What others had to say: "If you are looking for a beautifully written, entertaining story, with a great supporting cast, a little drama and a bunch of firemen, then you can't really go wrong." " I really enjoyed this story and the buildup to the romance between these two characters. I liked that Joe wasn't your typical hot guy but instead had his own insecurities which made me love him even more." "A light, fluffy read that skims across dark topics and even darker secrets without turning all maudlin and dreary. She treats each character as the star, including those lending support to the main characters. Lots of humor, romantic heat and self-discovery all wrapped up in a quick read that should fit perfectly into your beach bag!" Joe’s got a Secret Despite his public persona as Mr. September in the Sexy Public Servants Charity Calendar, firefighter Joe Marino wants the simple life. Sure, he’s used to turning heads. But this firefighter has dark past, which is why he needs Taylor Krebs' photography. When Joe asks her to shoot burn victims pro bono for the project Joe is spearheading, she tries to resist his smoldering charms. Still reeling from a crazy ex, Taylor wants to focus on her degree and fledgling business, not a new romance. Yet Joe won't take no for an answer. He's determined to persuade Taylor to photograph survivors for a book supporting the Burn Recovery Support Group. And despite her reservations, she finds herself falling for this gorgeous man on a mission. All Taylor wants is stability. Soon Taylor and Joe’s chemistry is too hot to deny. But with Joe hiding secrets and Taylor craving stability and her college degree, will their fiery affair flame out too quickly? Or will Mr. September end up being Taylor's Mr. Right, the man of her dreams year-round? "Michele Dunaway touched on a very serious topic while keeping things light, fun and sexy. I have to admit that a few tears dropped from my eyes especially at the end but overall this book was great. I definitely recommend this book and this author!" --Goodreads reviewer While Book 1 of the series, this book can be read as a standalone.
