A single father firefighter falls for his younger, free-spirit nanny, who is also his boss's daughter. Season 2 of Station 22 *** When firefighter Riggs learns he has a daughter he never knew existed from a forgettable one-night stand years ago, he becomes a single father overnight. Exhausted and fumbling through new parenthood, Riggs hires a twenty-something live-in nanny, Lila, to help him put out the fires in his personal life. Riggs isn't thrilled to lean on someone else, but he knows he can't be a good father and get the lieutenant position he's worked so hard for without a helping hand. Freshly home after studying abroad, free-spirit Lila is eager to prove her independence to her father, who she can't seem to see eye to eye with. When the nanny ad pops up, she can't think of a better way to demonstrate that she's responsible. The only problem? Lila is Station 22 Chief Morgan's daughter, and Riggs' rugged appeal has her rethinking her distaste for firefighters. They should keep their distance and stay professional, but resisting each other under the same roof isn't easy. As the forbidden attraction burning between them leads to sneaking around and secrets, it'll only be so long until everything goes up in flames.

August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))

After dropping out of uni, Imogen needed to blow off some steam and forget all about her poor choices, disappointing one-night stands, and wasted education.

And when summer ends and their paths cross again, this time as boss and employee, they find out that both had been lying.
