Abandoned by his own mother as a small boy, he's determined to do the right thing and take care of his son, stepping right into the role of a single father and leaving no time for things like a relationship and romance.One trip to the ER with his baby boy changes all that and he finds himself instantly enamored with Kaitlynn - the compassionate nurse who's been assigned to them.Kaitlynn Bennett made herself a vow a long time ago to never date a firefighter. Between her father's job as Fire Captain and losing her own mother in a fire when she was twelve, she knows all too well the heartache that comes along with all of it.Which is exactly why she had no clue that the sexy single dad in the ER was actually a firefighter.

That is, until Kaitlynn discovers he's a firefighter and Marshall realizes that Kaitlynn is his Captain's daughter. It's the perfect excuse for both of them to give in to their own insecurities and put plenty of distance in their already complex relationship.But when a fire strikes and they both end up in harm's way, will they finally realize that building a life together is far better than a lifetime apart?

New to me author delivers a hot tamale of a contemporary romance. Marshall goes from dedicated firefighter to single dad overnight. There is no way he is not going to be part of his baby's life. He knows what it's like when a parent leaves a child behind and he's never doing that to his kid. But when you're used to fending for yourself, how on earth do you deal with a tiny, fragile baby. Marshall is going to have to learn fast! Kaitlynn has no desire to be a partner of anyone involved in firefighting. Her dad's a Captain and her beloved mum died in a fire when she was younger. She loves her job in the ER and she can't help but be drawn to the completely out of his depth, very new and very single dad. But their attraction may be over before it really begins when they realise they share a closer connection than they thought - Kaitlynn's dad is Marshall's boss! Marshall is gooey middle wrapped in brawny muscle and a firefighter uniform. He's the epitome of never expected to be a dad but he's embracing it to the full. Kaitlynn knows the pitfalls of loving a firefighter but can the attraction to Marshall (and his bundle of joy) override her intense fear? You do want to clang their heads together occasionally - both were getting in their own way of being happy but all comes good in the end!
