His world was cold and dark...until she ignited a spark.

When Nick Holmes left to serve in the military, he had a plan for his life. A future with a wife and kids and all the things his parents had together. But that was before he saw the horrors of combat.

Now back in his small town working alongside his brother as a firefighter, Nick is slowly learning to live again with one very big complication. It comes in the form of a small, feisty, attractive woman who just happens to be the best friend of his brother's girlfriend. And as fate would have it, she's also his new neighbor.

Becca Carmichael drives him crazy with her absolute perfection. She's all he ever wanted before he left to serve in the military. And now, she's everything he can't allow himself to have.

He's tried to keep his distance, because he knows he's not what she needs. But a spark ignited between them the moment they met and it turned into a burning desire that gets harder to douse each day.
