Firefighter. Former Navy SEAL. Professional heartbreaker (unofficially).
Alex Sloan is Harper’s Crossing’s most eligible bachelor, and he knows it. Life is simple: save people, crack jokes, avoid commitment, repeat. Until one hospital stay changes the rules.
Jamie Miller doesn’t do distractions. Especially not six-foot-plus, dangerously charming distractions with a rescue complex and a grin that should come with a warning label.
The single mom has a five-year-old son, a ten-year plan, two jobs, and zero room for chaos.
Alex is chaos in firefighter gear.
So of course he becomes her patient.
Now she’s stuck babysitting a flirtatious firefighter who treats recovery like a dating show and somehow attracts every woman in a five-mile radius… all while refusing to stop smiling at her.
Jamie is trying not to notice him. Alex is trying to win her attention.
Harper’s Crossing is placing bets.
Between a meet-cute marriage proposal, bedside banter, and “innocent” glances and touches that last just a little too long, things go from inconvenient to completely unmanageable.
Because Alex doesn’t believe in giving up.
And Jamie is about to realize her biggest problem isn’t him breaking her rules…
It’s that she might like it.
A laugh-out-loud, slow-burn rom com packed with firefighter heat, grumpy/sunshine tension, forced proximity, meddling town gossip, and a ridiculously charming hero who turns “no distractions” into his favorite challenge.
