Just This Once (The Kings)

In a small coastal Michigan town, a firefighter and the fire chief's daughter reconnect after a one-night stand, only to discover they must navigate their attraction while she works in the community and he works for her father. After a difficult Valentine's Day, a woman finds herself in an unexpected encounter with a stranger named Whip, leading to an intense night together. When she moves to her parents' small town for a fresh start, she's shocked to see Whip again—this time arriving as a firefighter to help during a medical emergency at her school. Though embarrassed by their previous encounter, she's frustrated that he doesn't seem to remember her. As stolen glances turn into forbidden touches, they struggle to resist their connection. Yet her guarded heart resists believing in a future with him. Each time they agree to meet just once more, both know it's untrue. The question becomes how many times they can repeat this cycle before accepting that, for them, once is never enough.
