Tension is building up between a quirky museum curator and a rugged contractor in this steamy romantic comedy by USA Today–bestselling author.

Enjoy this steamy Fireman romance from author Lauren Fraser. When it comes to her career, Josie Sharp sees things with perfect clarity, but her love life? Well, that’s completely out of focus. Coming off a rough breakup, she’s insecure and hesitant about men, especially ones as sexy as firefighter Marco Patelli. Although she may be wary of his intentions, she’d have to be a fool to pass up the chance to be with a man like him. And foolishness is not in her genes. Josie is nothing like the women Marco normally goes for, but something about the shy photographer’s vulnerability calls to his dominant side. As he helps Josie explore her sexuality, Marco realizes there is so much more to Josie than meets the eye. But when lies and insecurities collide, Marco is going to have to fight to prove to Josie that what they have goes so much deeper than sex.
