Perfect for you if...

  • You're drawn to second-chance romance stories where the heroine is already managing her own life beautifully before the hero arrives.
  • You love small town settings where everyone knows everyone and summer feels like the perfect backdrop for falling in love.
  • You appreciate protagonists in their thirties who've got baggage and scars but haven't given up on finding connection.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need your romantic tension to arrive without the slow burn. These two take their time building chemistry, and patience is required.
  • You prefer darker or morally grey heroes. Jake is genuinely a good guy, which some readers find less compelling than flawed antiheroes.
  • You skip novellas because you want epic, sprawling narratives. This is a shorter, focused love story.

About this book

Claire Moore, a thirty-two-year-old newly single mother, is managing a difficult period in her life while working as a bartender and caring for her sick child. When a fire breaks out at High Five in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, she takes action to extinguish it herself. Jake Schmidt, a local firefighter and Marine veteran, arrives moments after Claire has put out the fire. Despite their tense initial encounter, he is drawn to her strength and determination and decides to pursue a relationship with her. Claire finds Jake different from her usual preferences, but their chemistry grows over time. She must decide whether to open herself up to trusting someone new, particularly after being hurt in the past. Set around the Fourth of July, this romance features a single mother and firefighter in a small-town summer setting.
