For as long as I can remember, Lachlan West has been my brother’s best friend and the love of my life. Trouble is, he kissed me four years ago and then never spoke to me again.

I was doing great pretending he doesn’t exist until I was assigned to write an article about former college athletes and I learn that the sexy single-dad is my first interview.

Determined to wow my editor with an amazing sportsball piece. (Have I mentioned I know nothing about sports?) I head to Ember Falls, ready to face my fears—and the man I love.

The grumpy quarterback turned fireman wants nothing to do with me or my article. Yet, somehow I persuade him to let me follow him around for a few weeks, and even if he said yes just to get rid of me, I’ll take it.

But the longer I stay in his small town, the more complicated our story gets. The boundaries we set fall to the ground—along with our clothes.

He holds me like I matter, touches me like I’m cherished and kisses me like he loves me.

We both know I have to leave Ember Falls, and he’ll never follow—I only wish I could write a different ending to our story.



Ainsley Mackinley is heading to the small town of Ember Falls for her first big news assignment. She just has to face her former friend and long-time crush that she has not seen in four years and try to get him to cooperate. Lachlan West is a former football player and now single dad and new small-town Fire Chief. 

These two
 have this history that they’ve never dealt with. They’re both a little stubborn and they thrive on taunting and exasperating each other. Those crushes are still causing conflicting emotions, attraction, and pining. And they did not think the other felt the same way.

She’s trying to be a professional, but he’s just really hot, protective, caring, and such a good guy. But he has big walls and abandonment issues. She’s sassy, funny, smart, sarcastic, and more beautiful than he remembered. But he still thinks he could never have her.  I really liked them together. Their banter is snarky and fun and based on a shared past. 

Close proximity and finally opening up will test and tempt them. They have chemistry, banter, and strong feelings. Glimpses at a family life they could share tease them because their lives and careers do not seem to mesh. And Lach is still not dealing with some of his past issues. He is this dichotomy of admitting his feelings, but then unable to imagine there is a possibility of a future. He has his reasons but sometimes I really just wanted to shake some sense into him. My heart hurt for them as they were taunted by what was possible, but struggling with challenges.

This is a childhood friends, longtime crushes, best-friend's-little-sister, grumpy-sunshine, second chance, single dad, small-town romance. It's about choices and priorities and facing the past to have any chance of moving forward. I am already intrigued by the side characters in this new small-town series, and I cannot wait for more with this group.
