He fights fires for a living, but the flames building between us may be too big to extinguish.
Niko West is the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on.
Six feet, four inches of broody, chiseled Greek god in a firefighter suit.
He’s also been my best friend since kindergarten.
He always says the only solid thing in his life is our friendship.
He’s Honey Mountain’s favorite player and I’m what you’d call a relationship girl.
But when I find myself single for the first time since turning sixteen, I make Niko an offer he can’t refuse.
Who better to show me what I’ve been missing?
But now that we’ve crossed that line, I don’t know if friendship is enough for me.

This is the start of a new series (happy dance), it’s also a friend to lovers plus small town which is always a win for me. This book is one of my top reads of this year. Niko and Viv have been best friends since they were kids so their connection had all that time to grow and turn into this extraordinary love that took me on a beautiful emotional ride. Niko I just wanted to take him away from all the bad that was happening to him. I got so angry at his father for what he had done to him, NO child should ever have to endure that type of shit. For him to be able to go through all that and have Viv show him that anything is possible when you find your person.
