They couldn't stand each other. Until they couldn't stay apart.
The firefighter next door is the most annoying man in Pinewood Falls.
And I’m stuck in his firehouse for 48 hours.
Declan Torres is charming, cocky, and grinning at me while my veterinary clinic is literally on fire. I want to strangle him. Or kiss him. I haven’t decided yet.
When a blizzard kills the power and I have to move my animals into Station 7, we’re trapped together with a backup generator, a dalmatian named Biscuit, and enough tension to melt the snow outside.
He flirts.
I glare.
He brings me coffee at 2 AM.
I pretend it doesn’t matter.
But somewhere between the blackout and the sunrise, his smile stops being annoying and starts being the only thing I want to see.
I swore I’d never trust a charming man again.
He’s making that very, very difficult.
