After a very public breakup, a summer at her family’s lake house is exactly what heiress Rachel Henderson needs.

But after setting her mother’s expensive curtains on fire, Rachel is saved by a very handsome fireman. Too bad he’s also the grumpiest guy she’s ever met.

Rachel keeps running into the fireman around the lake, and when she breaks through his tetchy façade, she finds herself totally falling for him. And it seems he feels the same.

But as summer draws to a close, Rachel must decide: Will she head back to the city, or stay by the lake forever.

    Gotta love a firefighter. This was great fun to read. I wasn’t expecting Wyatt to be a single dad, but it just made me like him even more. Rachel was a little difficult to like, but she made changes & grew as the story progressed. They have instant chemistry & the slow burn was delightful. There’s wonderful family & friendships, banter & small town charm. It’s heartfelt, swoony, steamy, emotional, & shows the more difficult side of a relationship with a first responder, I enjoyed it a lot.
