When the town’s hottest fire inspector meets the county’s toughest deputy, sparks fly. Dawson Speeding ticket? Sure. Handcuffs? Why not? Getting arrested by the prettiest deputy in the county? Absolutely worth it. From the moment Isla Merrill slaps cuffs on me, I’m hooked. She’s serious, focused, and impossible to charm—and it only makes me want her more. Everyone sees me as the Hot brother who lives for the rush, but Isla makes me want something real. She doesn’t believe in easy wins or smooth talk, and she definitely doesn’t believe a guy like me could be what she needs. Good thing I like a challenge. Because Isla Merrill is worth slowing down for—and fighting like hell to keep. Isla I cuff guys like Dawson Hot all the time. Cocky smile, fast car, bad decisions. Only Dawson isn’t just another ticket. He’s the fire inspector everyone in town adores, the brother with the big grin and bigger heart. He makes me laugh when I shouldn’t. He makes me wonder what it would feel like to let go for once. But dating him would be reckless. Letting him past my guard would be even worse. He says he likes it hot. I’m about to find out just how dangerous that heat can be—if I’m brave enough to take the risk.
