ALYSSA: One party + one crush on an older guy + one lapse of judgement = one teenage mom. That was seven years ago. With my mom’s help, I graduated. I have a good job. I have a great kid. What I don’t have is a love life. Most guys my age take one look at Charlie and run the other way. The gorgeous firefighter who checks on us after somebody rear-ends my car seems different . . . but can I trust him? DRAKE: I’ve always liked helping people. I guess it’s in my blood: the dad I don't remember was an EMT. Now I’m a fully qualified firefighter/EMT at Rivertown’s Station 9. When I’m working a fender bender, I take one look at the curvy woman behind the wheel and fall head over heels. Immediately. Completely. The kid in the booster seat is a bonus. I can love him, easy. Will Alyssa let me love her?

Carly writes short romance stories as steamy and sweet as a triple-vanilla latte, served extra hot. If you’ve ever wished that a Hallmark™ movie showed what happened in the bedroom—in glorious technicolor detail—her books are for you! Grab your favorite hot beverage and join her for the fun. She loves chai, homemade mulled cider, Riesling and Beaujolais, and vanilla lattes (iced or extra-hot). Carly wrote her first love story at the age of ten, featuring tragic Romeo-and-Juliet deaths, and only much later discovered that she preferred stories where the lovers live, with happily-ever-after endings. She enjoys snuggling under blankets in the winter, and under the stars in summer. Loves kissing Mr. Right in exotic locations, as well as in their very own kitchen. She lives in Virginia with the love of her life and a goofball dog.
