Trial by Fire. Hearts On Fire, #2

He's the firefighter who never breaks. She's the woman holding herself together for two. KaceI'm used to being the one people count on. As a single dad and a firefighter, I know how to handle pressure. I run toward danger. I take the hit. And I keep going. But after an injury sidelines me from the firehouse and sends me home needing help, the last thing I want is anyone seeing me weak-especially Lindsey Ashby.
LindseyI need a fresh start more than anyone knows. Jobless, unsettled, and pregnant, I'm desperate to build a life for myself and my baby. So when Kace needs help at home, I offer him a deal: room and board in exchange for driving him to appointments, cooking meals, and helping care for his young daughter and teenage niece. It's practical. Temporary. Safe. Until one kiss changes everything. Forced into close quarters, we discover that some wounds don't show, some fears run deep, and some sparks are impossible to ignore.
He doesn't know how to need anyone. I don't know how to trust anyone. Including myself. But love has a way of turning the heat up when hearts are on the line-and for Kace and me, falling for each other may be the ultimate trial by fire.
