Forever (Heart on Fire #3)

I left the man I loved eight years ago, without even saying goodbye. But now I’m back and standing in his firehouse with a press badge. Trying to pretend that my heart isn’t beating through my chest.

My firefighter ex looks different. Harder. Quieter. More scars than I remember…

But he still ordered my coffee with oat milk and one sugar before I even sat down. He still remembered everything.

Now we’re assigned a case together to find a serial arsonist, while someone is actively trying to shut the firehouse down.

His captain assigned him as my liaison, and I watched his fingers tighten around his mug.

Say no, I thought… Give it to someone else. Tell them you can’t. But instead, he looked straight at me and growled, “I’ll do it.”
