Single Dad Burning Up

Callan Im a single dad, a firefighter, taking it one day at a time and trying to keep my life from imploding. Once I had it all, but tragic events changed my trajectory, and now Im raising my daughter alone. When an old friend gets an unwelcome message from her ex, I jump in to play the part of pretend boyfriend. Harmless, right? But I wasnt counting on her touch awakening things in me. Im not looking for a relationshiphell, I dont deserve it, and the last thing I want is to love and lose again, but being with sweet and sexy Gemma has a way of calming my demons. Gemma Callan is big, athletic and tough, a man haunted by his past, but beneath the rough exterior, hes gentle and tender. And he makes me feel safe. Hes the perfect person to have a pretend relationship with when my ex, an overbearing cop who frightens me, decides he wants me back. We have to be realistic for this to workmy ex can spot a lie in a second, and Callan plays the lover well. So well that it isnt long before were playing house for real, until a secret and a surprise hit at the same time, and threatens everything weve built.
