Fifteen years ago, I shattered Shelby Parker’s heart when I disappeared without a word.
Now, she’s back in Fairview, and her return is the last thing I expected—but exactly what I need.
As a single dad and a firefighter with a chaotic life, I’ve learned to keep my past buried and my heart guarded. But Shelby isn’t just anyone.
She’s the calm in my storm, the missing piece my son Ethan and I didn’t know we were searching for.
Her warmth and resilience start to mend the cracks in my world.
As we rebuild what we lost, a buried secret surfaces—a truth powerful enough to upend everything.
The fire between us burns hotter than ever, but old shadows won’t stay hidden.
Can we confront our past and keep the flame alive, or will it all go up in smoke?
