Getting stuck in an elevator with my childhood crush was not in my plans for the day.

 

Neither was his declaration that I should make better choices in whom I date. He was also annoyingly right.

​

Tucker James has aged like a fine wine. As captain of Sonoma’s fire department, he’s become a well-respected man in town. And I hate that I still want him as much as I did when we were kids.

​

I’ve dreamed of him apologizing for disappearing without an explanation and then whisking me off into the sunset. Instead, he’s asked me to surrender my control with the promise that I’ll experience more pleasure than I’ve ever known.

​

Once upon a time, I trusted Tucker with my heart. If I can do it again, I have a feeling, he’ll make every one of my dreams come true.

​

But not everyone wants us to find our happily ever after. A series of arsons has led a bloody trail straight to my doorstep.

​

I’m just not sure who they’re targeting—Tucker or me.
