"Why flowers?" "Because Lainey deserves as many as I can give her." Lainey I hoped that Fox Grove would be a chance to start over . . . Finding worth and purpose in my life outside the pressure of my father's influence and rebuilding my rocky relationship with my mother. The last thing I expected was to break up with my boyfriend and burn our bedsheets in the family barbecue area behind my apartment—almost blowing myself up in the process. When a handsome, confident firefighter blazes into my life and puts out that fire but starts a new one in my heart I’m shocked. I had no idea agreeing to let Remington help me would lead to unraveling so much of my past or what he would do to my life. Remington I have dedicated my life to being a firefighter, serving my community, and keeping my heart from being broken. Helping a beautiful, captivating woman take back a part of her life that her ex-boyfriend ruined unexpectedly changes all of my carefully crafted plans to avoid heartbreak and has me reconsidering a deeper commitment. I promised myself I would never let someone get close to me again, but Lainey sparks feelings and a protective streak in me that I can’t ignore . . . especially when my past comes back to haunt me.
