Handsome firefighter swoops in and saves the day for a struggling single mom...

It sounds like something straight out of a romance novel, but that's exactly what happens the first time I meet Pierce in our small-town grocery store.

His kind gesture helps thaw my icy exterior, but I can't afford to get involved with someone who risks his life on a daily basis.

After a tragic fire left me to raise my daughter alone, my heart is frozen solid and closed for business.

It may be too late, though, because despite my better judgment, I'm already wrapped up in him.

This man has ignited a flame that seems resistant to logic. And his love is a gift I never expected to receive.

Pierce

Rescuing people is what I do.

And the moment I see the sexy single mom standing flustered in the checkout lane, I can't stop myself from stepping in to help.

Sparks fly when she pops into the fire station to say thank you.

Even though she tries to deny it, I know I'm not the only one who feels the chemistry between us.

For the first time, there's a fire I don't want to extinguish.

Not when I know I can stoke the flames and burn down those walls around her heart.
