Burning for the Bravest

His past made him notoriously reckless and, as a New York City fireman, that could prove fatal. After barely escaping a burning building with a victim, Autumn's beautiful face was the last thing he expected to see, and their instant connection intrigued but terrified him. Around her, he felt alive for the first time in over a decade. If he wanted to learn how to love again though, he'd have to let go of his past, and that was much easier said than done.

She's dated her fair share of New York City firemen, but after having been burned one too many times, she swore she'd never date another one. Enter Jesse Hogan—tempting her to bend her rules for one night. He was just a volunteer fireman, that had to be a loophole, right? Wrong. He was also a lieutenant in the FDNY. A fireman twice over. So she told herself to forget about that feeling in her chest (and that mind-blowing orgasm) and move on before he bulldozed her heart. Easy, right? Wrong.

As the baby of the family—and being blessed with heart-stopping good looks—Ryan Hogan was used to getting what he wanted, especially women, and his career as a New York City fireman only made him more of a chick magnet. Until one day on the job changed everything. He found himself in a hospital bed, and his nurse captivated him, but she seemed to be the only woman to ever be impervious to his charm. One thing to know about Ryan Hogan, though: He doesn't give up.

After having been burned by a woman in his past, fireman Jace Palmer avoided heartbreak at all costs and played the field as though it was his profession. One night, he accidentally called a hookup by the wrong name in the middle of . . . hooking up. He didn't have the space in his life for that kind of drama, so he decided to move on, even though he'd actually liked her. When he shows up for his best friend's wedding weekend a few months later, he discovers that life was delivering him a cruel twist of fate.

Manchmal ist die erste Liebe beim zweiten Mal besser. Kyle Hogan war vier, als er Allie traf. Vierzehn, als er merkte, dass er in sie verliebt war. Achtzehn, als er es ihr endlich sagte. Dann sah er sie nie wieder Bis jetzt. Viele Jahre war sie fort, doch sein Herz konnte sie nie vergessen. Nun ist sie zurück in der Stadt und Kyle weiß nur eines: noch einmal lässt er sie nicht gehen. Allie Dupree wollte nie wieder nach New York zurückzukehren. Doch sie konnte nicht ertragen, dass ihr Ex-Mann eine neue Familie gründet, kaum dass sie geschieden waren.

I was four when I met Allie Dupree. Ten when I stopped thinking she had cooties. Fourteen when I realized I was in love with her. And eighteen when I finally told her. Then I never saw her again. I also never forgot her. And my heart never let her go. Sixteen years after she'd disappeared without a word, she's back and there's no way in hell I'm letting her get away again. Especially because there are still burning embers of what we had. And, at the very least, I think I deserve some answers.
