They say you should never fall in love with your best friend, but nobody warned me that Pine Valley's hottest firefighter would make breaking that rule feel so right. When my house goes up in flames, I'm rescued by Ashton Collins, my best friend since high school and the man I've secretly loved for years. With his chiseled muscles and toned chest, he's every woman's dream, but to him, I'm just his curvy best friend who he needs to protect. Or so I thought. When he offers me shelter in his home, the spark between us ignites into something neither of us can deny. But with his reputation as Pine Valley's biggest player and my inexperience, can I trust that this isn't just another rescue mission for him? Will the man who's always been there for me finally see me as more than just his best friend? Curvy Girl and the Firefighter Santa is a short, sweet, and steamy small town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Pine Fire Department
