I finally got my big break as a journalist, the annual firefighter calendar shoot.
But there’s a twist I didn’t see coming. This year’s calendar star is none other than Ryan Taylor, my best friend’s infuriating brother.
Now, fate has thrown us together when my editor demands more than a fluff piece. I’m tasked with capturing the raw, behind-the-scenes reality of a firefighter’s life.
As I document their courage, I start to see Ryan in a completely new light. He’s not the rebellious troublemaker I’ve always known, instead he’s a hero beneath the tough exterior.
Every sizzling exchange melts our icy façade. Sparking a mutual attraction neither of us can deny. But Ryan keeps retreating, unwilling to let me get close.
Then his ex shows up, witnessing their interaction throws me into a storm of uncertainty.
