I accidentally flirted with my best friend’s brother.
He accidentally moved in next door.
Now he’s in my shower, holding my cat, and I’m out of excuses.
Ryan Rodriguez is a grumpy, gorgeous firefighter who likes rules, order, and clean countertops—the kind of man who folds his T-shirts and files his feelings.
I’m a paint-splattered disaster who nearly burned down the community centre.
We’re opposites in every possible way—except for the spark that keeps setting both our lives on fire.
One rescue turns into coffee. Coffee turns into late-night renovations. Then a kiss that makes me forget every reason this can’t work.
I fall for him, but my mother needs me, and I might have to leave this town… and him.
He brings order to my chaos, calm to my storms.
But the closer he gets, the more I remember—guys like him don’t stay with women like me.
And if I’m not careful, this time the thing going up in flames…will be us.
