One kiss changed everything. As sheriff, I’m the guy people call for help. But when my solo Hawaii trip gets hijacked by my clingy ex, suddenly I’m the one who needs saving. My unlikely rescuer? A gorgeous stranger who plants one breathtaking, reckless kiss on me in the middle of a crowded bar—sending my ex packing… and stealing my carefully guarded heart. Tommy Marian kissed me like he knew me. Like he wanted me. Like I was his. Like he was mine. But he’s not. He’s a straight, ambitious city doctor—here in paradise for his own damn wedding. And I’m going home alone, as usual. Six months later, I land a dream search and rescue gig in Legacy, Montana. One summer. A break from my coupled-up friends. Zero distractions. Except guess who’s freshly single… and bunking in my tiny cabin? The biggest distraction of my life. Tommy Marian is still beautiful, still infuriating, and still everything I can’t want. He says what happens in Legacy stays in Legacy. I say I’m not even tempted. At least one of us is lying. Because when Tommy disappears on the mountain, I realize I’d burn the world to get him back… And maybe this time, I won’t let him go.

I came to Legacy for a fresh start—to outrun my past and forget the anonymous man I fell for online. But now all I see is Alex Marian. The bane of my existence. Firebug. Reckless bar owner. Walking disaster. It doesn’t matter that he’s the sexiest man alive. Or charming. Or kind. He’s entitled, spoiled, rich, naive—everything I hate. The townspeople say he’s the sunshine to my grump. What they don’t know is that worrying about him keeps me up at night. He's the match, and I'm the gasoline—and the way he looks at me says he knows exactly what kind of fire we'd make together. But Alex Marian might just be worth the burn. Full blurb and cover coming soon!
