Taite and Dempsey have known each other since they were children.  Been friends and enemies alike.  The new dynamic between them has been leaving them both unsettled.  

Dempsey wants to try for a future with Taite.  He knows that the animosity she shows toward him and the fire department is part of the job.  Behind closed doors, there are secrets that may get out.  Sooner or later someone in their small town will know.

This was such a great story.  Kind of a slow burn, (pun not intended - but I'll take it.)  These characters are such a great balance for one another.  They have a lot in common, they both have this electric attraction with such intense heat.  It seemed like it was a only a matter of time for this compelling story to find them on the same page.  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
