Taylor is a firefighter who’s tired of dousing infernos in his personal life.

her house burned. The problem is, she’s determined to leave behind any
connection to that awful night—and Taylor is a very overwhelming connection.

“So, how’ve you been?” Taylor asked.
Kate squinted, the feeling of familiarity sweeping over her again. It’d been so long
since she’d been on a first date that she couldn’t remember if this was a
typical conversation. “Um . . . Good, I guess.”

“Good.”
Taylor nodded, as though genuinely relieved by her answer. “That’s great. I’ve always wondered.”

Her stomach rumbled with nerves while her palms grew clammy. Something was very
wrong with this date. “I’m sorry,” Kate said, the words taking all her courage.
“Do we know each other?”

Kate should’ve given in to her fear and never stepped foot outside of the car. This
was beyond humiliating. Embarrassed tears prick at her eyes and she forced them
back. “You’ll have to forgive me. I don’t usually forget people like this.”

Taylor’s smile turned pained. “We met the night of the fire.”
The sounds of bowling balls smacking against pins dimmed as his blue shirt and
jeans morphed into full fire gear, a hat and jacket obscuring most of his
features. Bile rose in her throat and she clasped her hands together tightly to
hide the shaking. Out of all the men she could’ve been matched with, Brooke had
found the one Kate had never expected to see again.
