Protect

He's a hotshot firefighter with a past he can't outrun.

She swore she'd never forgive him.

Now fate has handed them a second chance and it's burning out of control . . .

I walk into the local bar with my crew, dirty and exhausted, only to slam into my biggest regret: the one who got away. The twin sister of my lost best friend. I haven't seen Violette Taylor in years, but I haven't forgotten her either. I used to be Rowan to her. Now I'm just King – the guy who broke her heart, but not for the reasons she thinks.

Violette is back in town for good – she's a single mom and a nurse in the burn unit I accidentally wind up in. Can you call that fate? Maybe, if she wasn't doing her best to stay far away from anyone who reminded her of her past. But I know something she doesn't: life rarely offers second chances. So if this is my opportunity to finally make things right, I'm taking it.

Can we rise from the ashes or will the past burn us down?
