Lieutenant Nixon Rosa may be the youngest of five brothers, but he's always been the one who protects. First on the scene, last to leave—he thrives on danger, adrenaline, and a life lived on the edge.

Then he meets Idalia Mazzi.

She's stunning, fiercely independent, and juggling a hotel, a demanding business, and a little boy whose past has left scars she can't erase. She has zero interest in a hotshot firefighter with a cocky smile, a devil-may-care attitude, and a knack for pushing all her buttons.

But the sparks between them are impossible to ignore. Every glance, every brush of fingers, every heated moment lingers longer than it should. Nixon tempts her in ways no one ever has—awakening desires she thought were buried forever.

Idalia knows getting close could burn her again. Yet some flames are impossible to resist... and some men are worth the risk.
