When loyalty becomes a cage, love becomes the key. JJ I’ve spent years holding on to a man who barely held my hand. I keep hoping my loyalty will mean something—that maybe one day, he’ll choose me. But when I meet Miles, that loyalty starts to fray. He’s warm where my husband is cold. Open where he’s guarded. And for the first time in years, I feel seen. Miles I didn’t expect him—this quiet, guarded firefighter with eyes full of sadness and a heart too full of love for someone who doesn’t deserve it. He’s killing himself to save something that died a long time ago. And as much as I hate how he’s hurting me in the process, I can’t seem to pull away. Because some love burns quietly. And some will consume you. This book is part of the Firehouse 99 shared world but each book can be read as a standalone.
