I'm the station's youngest fire chief, a grown man, and fully in my right mind—which means I'm not going to fall for the One Who Got Away.

That's not the kind of person I am.

Second chances are like skipping leg day—I don't do that. Ever.

But I wasn't counting on Naomi buying me at the firefighter charity auction. Now I'm forced into a month of dates with the one woman who cuts through my defenses like no one else, and I'm starting to think maybe she's right...maybe we are different people than the teenagers who failed at love.

Maybe this isn't a fire I have to put out.

Maybe for the first time in my life I can relax and just...let it burn.

Or maybe we're both about to learn that fire isn't something you should underestimate—especially the kind that burns between a man and a woman.
