With an intimidating build, tattoos everywhere, eight years her senior, and a little sister under his care, the last thing she expected was to warm up to him so easily.

The memory of why I jumped out of my ex-fiancé's car in a wedding dress is a bit hazy. Or maybe I was pushed. Disoriented, I stumble through the trees until exhaustion forces me to rest. Time passes in a feverish blur, but eventually, I'm discovered by a friendly dog and her unfriendly owner, Jude Powell. The gorgeous grump isn't too pleased with my disheveled appearance. That doesn't stop him from ripping my ruined dress to create a makeshift sling for my arm and taking me to the emergency room.

Angela Haddon can drag a grown man out of a burning building and rescue a kitten from a tree, but keeping her hands to herself is getting old when it comes to Stefan Trevino. He's sexy as sin, a billionaire, and absolutely off limits, according to her brother. Stefan doesn't do commitments or clingy girlfriends, though Angela is up for the challenge. She isn't the same teenage girl she used to be, and judging by the biceps stretching the sleeves of his shirt, Stefan has grown up too.

It was supposed to be simple. One night with no strings. I had just gotten the worst news of my life and wanted to forget everything. The broody firefighter was perfect. Our night together was so hot, I forgot everything but the rules. I never expected to get pregnant. It was supposed to be impossible. All I knew was his name and the small town where I found him.
