The Grumpy Firefighter Next Door: A Best Friend's Brother Small Town Romance

By Avianne Ash

I accidentally flirted with my best friend's brother.
He accidentally moved in next door.
Now he's in my shower, holding my cat, and I'm out of excuses.

Ryan Rodriguez is a grumpy, gorgeous firefighter who likes rules, order, and clean countertops-the kind of man who folds his T-shirts and files his feelings.

I'm a paint-splattered disaster who nearly burned down the community center.

We're opposites in every possible way-
except for the spark that keeps setting both our lives on fire.

One rescue turns into coffee.
Coffee turns into late-night renovations.
Then a kiss that makes me forget every reason this can't work.

I fall for him, but my mother needs me, and I might have to leave this town... and him.

He brings order to my chaos, calm to my storms.
But the closer he gets, the more I remember-
guys like him don't stay with women like me.

And if I'm not careful, this time the thing going up in flames...
will be us.
