It was supposed to be one night. We didn’t even exchange names. He called me Texas and I called him California. We drank to a night we would never remember; with someone he would never forget. Morning came and I sashayed my way out of his hotel room with an extra sway on my hips and a smile on my face. That was supposed to be where our story ended, but now he’s here in Liberty Falls, my tiny hometown. Not only is he a fire chaser, but he’s here to replace my dad as Chief of the LFFD. I don’t date firefighters. I know from firsthand experience what it’s like to be at home waiting for that dreaded phone call. This can’t be a thing. My head says no, the problem is my stupid body and heart don’t seem to agree. The man lights my fire. Jude Sutton will let the entire town go up in flames for me, but I’ll burn straight in hell before I hurt the only parent I have left. He’s a city slicker. I’m a small-town girl. We shouldn’t work, but we go together like peanut butter and jelly or macaroni and cheese. June is a part of the Fire Chaser collection. 12 Months. 12 Men. 12 Stories. 12 Authors Each book represents one hot month of the Hope Haven charity calendar.
