A swoony, small town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!
When the grumpy firefighter falls for the sunshine girl who turns his world upside down…
Elsa Whitney walks into my life like she owns the sun, all warmth and light, and shatters the quiet I’ve been clinging to. Not that I can blame her. She’s impossible to ignore. And somehow, I’m the idiot who offered her a place to stay.
Brilliant move.
I’ve got enough on my plate—raising my son, rebuilding my family’s resort, and trying to keep the pieces of my family together.
The last thing I need is a distraction, especially one as tempting as Elsa.
Too bad my family is already smitten. Worse? They swear I’m less of a grouch with her around.
They’re not wrong.
Because the truth is, I don’t just want her in my house—I want her in my life, in my bed, in every moment I can steal. And once I finally give in? There’s no turning back.
If you love a grumpy firefighter who sets hearts ablaze and a heroine who makes him burn for more, this story is for you.
*A full-length, standalone romance.

REVIEW
Haven is the oldest son in his family. And he has taken charge of rebuilding his family's resort after a wilderness fire destroyed it. His also a lawayer and a fire fighter and a single dad... He also use to have a crush on Elsa when they were in high school. He never thought that he would see her again, but her she is....
After being away for many years, Elsa returns to her home in Alaska and finally feels like shes home. While figuring out her life she runs into Haven, and he offers her a place to stay at his family home....
I enjoyed the story, loved the characters. Loved their first connections with the goats and his son, very cute. I loved how Havens family all see him as this grumpy person, but being around Elsa they get to see a different side to him. And his little boy added was just a bonus.
Lots of love, wittiness, fun and lots of emotions. Nothing that stood out much for me. It was just a good read which I will still recommend 💖
