Then firefighter Noah West stumbles-literally-into her life, bruised, bandaged, and grinning like he didn't just walk out of a burning building. He's reckless, loud, and too damn charming for his own good, the kind of man who laughs in the face of danger and doesn't take anything seriously. Except his job. And, apparently, her. But when one visit isn't enough, Noah starts showing up weekly with suspiciously minor injuries-just for the chance to see her. She calls him reckless. He calls it fate. She's spent her life holding everything together. He's made peace with letting go. But somewhere between healing and burning, they just might find what they've both been missing.
