Taught by the Car Mechanic

Colin is everything I want in a guy: insanely hot, sweet, and a muscled body slick with motor oil after a day's work. If only he felt the same way about me, we could leave the friendzone and live happily ever after.

Taught by the Firefighter

Fighting fires and rescuing people from burning buildings is my job, but when I save a curvy bookstore owner from a raging fire, I know that this time it's about more than work. I burn for her with a fiery passion, and I vow never to let her go. Can I get her to trust me, or will she run away and leave me brokenhearted?

Taught by the Sheriff

When her neighbor turns out to be a dangerous felon who threatens her life, I swear to protect her. But will she still want me when she finds out about my troubled past?
