When fate forces Bess and Sebastian under the same roof, she's forced to confront the grumpy, impossibly sexy fire pilot she's never been able to forget—even though he's her ex-boyfriend's dad and absolutely off-limits. A year of trying to move on crumbles the moment they're in close quarters again, and the chemistry between them becomes almost impossible to ignore. Sebastian is working hard to rebuild his relationship with his son, and they both know that acting on this electric attraction would be the ultimate betrayal—but resisting each other might just be harder than either of them bargained for. With tension simmering and longing building, this slow-burn romance asks what happens when the rules keeping them apart start to feel less important than the connection pulling them together.
