When Ridge was the new guy in town, he didn’t mind being the single one. After all, he’s had his job and raising his daughter to distract him. But now that three years have gone by, he’s starting to wonder if maybe something’s wrong with him. Everyone else he knows has tripped and fallen into love.
So why hasn’t there been even a hint of romance for him?
Then his daughter’s very hot, very straight Deaf mentor kisses him at a party in front of his family. But it wasn’t for no reason. Oz confesses his mom and sister have been trying to set him back up with his ex and he needs a way out.
For Ridge, who has been nursing a crush on Oz for a year, this is the ultimate fantasy. But when Oz starts showing signs that he wants more than just pretend, Ridge isn’t sure. Can he trust this man with his heart? Especially when his heart isn’t the only one on the line?
Ridge has spent most of his life saving people, but soon he’ll learn if there’s a hero waiting to save him too.
