Every red-blooded male in St. Helena wants Harper Owens...as a friend. Despite her efforts at seduction, Harper seems to be destined to end up alone. The only guy with a knack for unleashing her inner vixen is firefighter and resident rule-breaker Adam Baudouin. Agreeing to a faux-mance could help him secure a promotion--and save her family's lingerie shop, the Boulder Holder. But playing with fire has consequences. Especially when the flame comes courtesy of St. Helena's own Five-Alarm Casanova...

None of Adam's quick-and-easy hookups have prepared him for a connection this extraordinary. There's more to the milk-and-cookies art teacher that he'd love to explore. But first he has to convince her to trust the town's most notorious playboy. Even tougher--he'll have to trust himself to be the real-life hero this warm and sexy woman deserves.
