Lila I moved to Snowmass Village in need of a fresh start. I left behind a painful past and a heartbreak, and now I plan to rebuild my life one pastry at a time. My only focus now is just the bakery. That’s it. No more men. No more relationship. No more love. But then I meet Ben—the irresistible, charming, hot firefighter. Just one look and he manage to make me forget my “no more men” rule. Everything about him makes my heart race and my stomach flutter. He makes me feel safe. Secure. Wanted. I don’t want to get hurt again. But if my secret come to light—will he choose me? Because if I fall, he has the power to destroy what little is left of me. I should keep a distance, but the pull between us is too strong.
Ben I’m a dedicated firefighter, living a life shaped by duty and danger. For years, I’ve kept love at arm’s length. Relationships don’t mix well with a career built around risk, and I’ve never been one to chase women or love—it’s not my thing. But then I meet Lila. She’s everything I want. Everything I need. Strong, beautiful, and sexy as hell. She makes my heart race and flips my carefully built world upside down. Suddenly, I’m craving more than just the next adrenaline rush. I crave a future with her. I crave her. She doesn’t just light a fire in me. She is the fire. And she’s going to be mine.
