My life is simple–work hard to make my small-town bakery a success, and play hard as my reward…which is that much sweeter since my best friend’s brother is my hiking buddy. He’s a thrill-seeking Adonis, and I’m the curvy baker he loves to challenge. Total opposites in most ways, except for a shared love for adventure. When he needs me to step in and be his plus-one to an event with his firefighter crew, I think nothing of it and trade my hiking boots for heels.

No one really wants to go to a wedding reception, but when it’s for your boss and your whole firehouse squad is going, it’s necessary. The best thing to do is take someone off limits, like your little sister’s best friend, especially when she’s your favorite person to hang out with. But maybe don’t take shots together. And probably don’t start grinding on the dance floor. And definitely don’t accidentally sleep together.
And whatever you do, don’t fall for her when you’re leaving town in a few weeks for your dream job.
Inevitable Love, a steamy small-town firefighter romance, is book two of the James County Fire Rescue series and can be read as a standalone.
