A Firefighter's Fight for Her

Ryder Cook is Birch Harbor’s trusted firefighter and my brother’s best friend, the man I have spent years pretending I do not want.

I already escaped an ex who watched me in order to control me, so falling for the man who watches me to keep me safe should frighten me more than it does.

When that past starts closing in, Ryder notices the danger first, checking my locks, watching my windows, and making the heat between us impossible to ignore.

The more I am threatened, the harder it becomes for him to hide the darker edge beneath the town’s golden-boy hero.

My ex does not only want me back; he wants to punish me for choosing Ryder, and Ryder Cook is not a man who walks away from a fight.
