Once in a while, after life gets you down, the universe throws you a bone. And if you’re really lucky, it comes in the form of a tattooed baby-wearing firefighter with piercing blue eyes and a heart of gold.
When Noah Hebert swung his axe and rescued me from a coffee shop bathroom, I had only a vague sense of who the tattooed lumberjack was. Turns out he’s more than broad shoulders and a thick beard. He’s a devoted single dad and my new neighbor.
Soon after, we find ourselves falling into an easy friendship. I help him with his fussy baby, and he helps me survive my ex-husband and little sister’s wedding. Despite my vow never to risk my heart again, my defenses quickly crumble. The sight of him rocking his sweet baby in those muscular, inked arms only makes matters worse. And when he defends me to my toxic family, the sparks of attraction between us catch fire.
I moved back here with a mission. Grow the food pantry and make our little town a better place. I can’t get mixed up with the grieving single dad, even if he likes to braid my hair and slow dance in the kitchen.
He moved across the country to escape the flames of his past and protect the little girl he now calls his own. But our town is sitting on a bed of secrets ready to ignite.
And when the heat causes my world to go up in smoke, I’m not sure it’s possible to sift through the rubble and find our happily ever after.

Noah came back to town as a single dad, as he wants his daughter to grow up surrounded by his family.
Victoria moved back to town to take over her aunts food pantry and to get over her recent divorce. As her ex is getting married… to her little sister, shocking I know. And to top it off, her sister is pregnant ☹
I read the ebook a while back and totally loved it. Now the audio was even better. I absolutely loved this story. Noah was amazing with his adorable little girl. And the fact that he communicates with her through sign language… So flippen sweet.
The Narration for this one was so good, I got totally hooked from the start to the end. I haven’t listened to a lot of audio’s from Gabriel Spires but I absolutely loved it. Samantha Cook is always a good listen for me. Loved audio from start to end, made the story even better 😊
