Thorne An OTT Alpha Firefighter & Best Friend’s Curvy Little Sister Thorne As a lieutenant firefighter, I call the shots. I’m labeled a hero…until I make a bad call and we lose one of our bravest men. The guilt wrecks me, the shrapnel from the blast injures me and scars my face, and my reputation is shot to hell. The physical therapist may be the only person who can help me heal—body, mind, and soul. I could fall in love with her… Too bad she’s my best friend’s little sister. Maisie Tending to wounded Wylder Bluffs firefighters has lended me nerves of steel and I take pride in what I do. When Lieutenant Thorne presents with some of the worst injuries I’ve seen in my three-year career, I feel like I’m in over my head. I have to get over it though. Thorne needs me. I can do this. If he wasn’t my older brother’s best friend since childhood, I might admit how much I need him, too. “Thorne” is a SHORT, OTT (‘over-the-top’), STEAMY romance. Older man / younger curvy woman. No cliffhangers, no cheating! Guaranteed HEA. :) This is a standalone short story part of the WYLDER BLUFFS FIRE DEPT. series.
