Summary
In a rugged small town on the coast of Michigan where heartbreak lingers but love always finds a way, sparks fly between a fireman and the daughter of the fire chief after an unforgettable one night stand. Fans of Lucy… Score&’s Knockmeout Series, Elsie Silver, Carley Fortune, and B.K. Borrison will swoon over book 1 in Lena Hendrix&’s bestselling Kings Series! Cocky, pierced firefighters are perfect for late-night rom-coms, but in real life they&’re nothing but trouble. Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you&’ve already slept with them. Moving to my parents&’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine&’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, it ended with the hottest night of my life. I didn&’t think I would ever see Whip again. Imagine my surprise when one of my sixth-grade students has a medical emergency and it&’s Whip who shows up, looking hot as hell, to save the day. I should be embarrassed at how we left things, but instead I&’m furious he doesn&’t seem to remember me. So I scrape my pride off the floor, lift my chin, and pretend there&’s nothing between us. But that can last only so long. Stolen glances melt into forbidden touches, and once we give in to temptation, we can&’t keep our hands off each other. Nothing has ever felt so right, but my guarded heart won&’t let me believe in happily ever after with a man like him. Opening up to Whip may be the hardest thing I&’ve ever done, and every time we agree to one last time, we both know it&’s a lie. How many times can we keep telling ourselves just this once before we realize that, when it comes to love, once is never enough?
