Delaney Kane has loved Carter Reed for as long as she can remember. He's her brother's best friend, and that's always been the problem. Things only got more complicated when Delaney expressed her feelings for Carter. But he didn't feel the same. Heartbroken, Delaney tried to move on and put him behind her, vowing to never look back. But now, years later, she's back in her hometown, and there's no avoiding him. Carter Reed has always been focused on one thing-becoming the fire chief, just like his father. Distractions weren't an option, especially not in the form of his best friend's little sister. But now that Delaney's back, she's impossible to ignore. She's no longer the young girl who confessed her feelings for him all those years ago-she's grown into a stunning, confident woman. And no matter how much he tries, he can't escape the fire still burning between them. As sparks reignite, the tension between Delaney and Carter builds. The question is-how long can they resist the heat before everything they've tried to bury comes to the surface?
