Love is overrated and I have the third-degree relationship burns to prove it, courtesy of my ex. I'm done with romance.

Then I meet the world's funniest, sexiest lady firefighter and all my "staying single" plans go up in smoke.

The problem? Faith's even more gun shy when it comes to love than I am.

But I have a plan.

First, I'll prove to Faith that she can trust me with her heart.

Next, I'll keep showing up until she believes it.

In just a few weeks, we're both falling hard, and I'm positive I've found the woman I've been waiting for.

Then my past comes back to haunt me in a way I never imagined possible, putting my future at risk. But I'm not about to give up on forever with Faith, not without one hell of a fight.
