He's tough enough to walk through fire. His only weakness? His best friend's little sister. And now they're facing danger that could ruin them both...
Rescue squad firefighter Tyler Gates is calm even in the most perilous situations. He knows all too well that emotions only add fuel to the fire when things go sideways—and when emotions are involved, everything goes sideways. Life's just safer without feelings, period.
But when his best friend's little sister is swept up in a case of arson, extortion, and murder on his watch? Tyler's going to have to rely on every one of his survival instincts to protect her.
Including keeping her at arm's length, no matter how badly he's always wanted her.
As a former foster child, Chloe Ferguson knows what it's like to need someone in her corner. When a thirteen-year-old girl in the system witnesses a brutal crime, then finds herself in the crosshairs of the dangerous criminal who committed it, Chloe knows she'll need to do everything she can to keep her safe.
Even if that means setting her emotions aside to ask straight-laced, sexy Tyler for his help.
But Tyler and Chloe can't fight the sizzling-hot attraction sparking between them, and soon, they're protecting Chloe's ward and each other against a killer who wants to silence them all. In order to make it out alive, they'll need to stand together and put everything on the line.
Including their hearts.
