Reid Dixon is a smoking hot firefighter, my much older brother’s best friend and my teenage obsession.

Six years ago in a fog of liquid courage I threw myself at him.

​

The haze cleared and I realized I’d made a total fool of myself.

He ghosted me and I haven’t seen or talked to him since.

​

Now, in a you’ve got to be kidding me twist I find myself living in Reid’s house.

He’s infuriating, stubborn and cocky, but even worse, still hot.

​

And suddenly he’s not looking at me like his best friend’s little sister.

Touching me means he’d have to break a promise he made to my brother. Something he would never do.

​

Maybe it’s his turn to learn what it’s like to want something he can’t have.

Falling for him again is not an option but I’m not above some vengefully shameless temptation.

​

I can keep my head in the game without involving my heart, right?
