~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With a couple failed marriages under his belt, Captain Jack Tracey knows how tough it is to balance a personal life with his job. But nothing in his long career has prepared him for the moment Diesel Evers walks into his firehouse. Sure, Jack’s contended with cocky young recruits before, but this seriously hot hotshot rookie is poised to crash and burn. With early retirement in sight, Jack can’t afford to get involved with a subordinate.
Having transferred to Jack’s house after a disastrous relationship, Diesel isn’t looking for another commitment. But that doesn’t mean he can’t have a little fun with his sexy silver fox of a new boss. Sometimes you have to bend the rules a bit…or shatter them completely.
With an unidentified saboteur endangering his squad, Jack doesn’t want to draw any more heat, but Diesel is too damn tempting to deny. Indulging their desires feels worth the risk—until trouble on the job lands Jack in the hospital, forcing them both to decide what’s worth fighting for.

This m/m May December romance immerses readers in an emotional but intriguing romance. The Characters are strong and easily draw readers into their story as they don’t really seem to have much in common other than their careers but yet the magnetic attraction is undeniable. Being coworkers, especially with Jack being Diesel’s boss, works against them having a relationship as well Diesel’s past which he trying to keep on the down low. This ensures that he story has quite a bit of emotional turbulence as well keeping readers wondering if Jack and Diesel can reach their happily ever after.
The plot goes from steady to fast paced in a few places as some adrenaline pumping events take place and thrilling suspense builds as first Jack and Diesel launch an in house investigation and then as Diesel keeps looking over his shoulder in regards to his past. Although it does seem as though there should be something more going on regarding Diesel and his past based on the way that Diesel regards it, especially since the author does a great job of getting the emotions and depth of her characters across, this romance easily keeps readers glued to the pages.
