Since Christina Mitchell was a young girl, she knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life: become a paramedic. Putting everything on the line, she sacrificed to achieve her dream and hasn’t regretted a single moment. Until now … Falling in love with a firefighter, Nicholas Conrad, Christina knew what was at stake, but didn’t let it scare her away from her soul mate. They were well on their way to a happily ever after, until Nick’s best friend, Tim, died while on a call. A part of Nick died along with him that day. Eventually, Nick and Tina’s marriage fell apart and she did the only thing she could—she left. One morning, she packed her bags, went to live with her best friend, and filed for divorce shortly after. Being in the state Nick was in, he didn’t contest. Nick gave Tina everything she wanted and hated himself every day because of it. Due to budget cuts, the pair is forced to work together once again. Trying to remain professional, they decide to keep their past a secret from the rest of the house, but something this big can only remain hidden for so long. The tension between Nick and Tina can only lead them in one of two directions: straight into each other’s arms or even further apart. In order for their love to rekindle, they both have to be willing to put aside the past and start again fresh. Will Nick and Tina be able to find a common ground? Or will everything they’ve worked so hard for go up in smoke?

Kylee Anderson has all the qualities any man would want; sexy, fun, witty, intelligent and most importantly, she never wants a commitment. She’s gone the last four years getting exactly what she wants out of life: She’s continued a friendship with her oldest friend in the world, built a new bond with Skylar and Danny, and had the full college experience.

Determined to continue down the path of sex without titles, Jacoby will try to break through her shell and win her heart. There’s only one problem; Kylee isn’t that easy to win over.
