A small-town firefighter faking forever...

Beckett: Maisey's always been more than my best friend. She's the only woman who tempts me to burn down the walls I built around my heart. So when I'm called to a fire and watch her world go up in flames, I can't stop myself from stepping in. A fake engagement is the only way to give her and her dad safety, a home, a chance to breathe again.

I swear I can keep my distance-until one kiss, one dare, and one taste undo me completely. Until our charade draws a stalker's attention.

Now, I'll risk my job, my future, and my life to keep her safe.

Maisey: I've loved Beckett forever-before my scars, before I believed I wasn't the kind of girl men keep. His proposal promises security, not love. But every stolen kiss makes this engagement feel dangerously real. I almost let myself believe I can finally be enough...

But Beckett doesn't believe in forever, and as the threats surrounding us turn violent, I realize the biggest risk isn't losing my heart.
