USA Today bestselling author Grahame Claire introduces a firefighter who doesn't play by the rules in a story of secrets and suspense.

Teague Hollingsworth crashed into my perfectly predictable life like a rocket, turning everything upside down and setting it ablaze.

It was the world's worst first impression and one I'm not likely to forget . . .

Until he shows up just when I need him.

It turns out he's not at all the man I thought he was.

He's kind to my dogs.

He's protective of me.

And he doesn't seem to mind the chaos.

Slowly, he's winning my trust . . . and maybe my heart.

But there's more to this man than I could've imagined.

Shadows and secrets that threaten what I love the most.

I've lost everything once.

I won't do it again.

Not even for him.
