Their Own Terms. Hearts on Fire, #5

Things got a bit spicy before they settled down together... For Tony Escrand, one of the benefits of the FDNY is the number of women who want to be with a firefighter. However, all that goes out the window when he sees Carmen Mitucci again. She's more beautiful than ever, and he's learned how to please a woman since he saw her last. A lifetime after the middle school dance that ended in humiliation for both of them, Carmen is stunned at Tony's growth from an awkward kid to a confident, well-built man.
She didn't know a lot about boys then, but she knows what she wants now. As Tony and Carmen put old misunderstandings aside, a new chemistry forms between them. But when events take an unexpected turn, can they trust each other again?
