Before I Knew Your Name: A Brother’s Best Friend Single Dad Firefighter Romance
Elsa Scott
She’s my best friend’s little sister.
She going to become my nanny.
I didn’t know any of that when I fell for her.
The firehouse siren startles her, and I move.
Her misstep ends in my arms,
secure against my body.
Heat. Touch.
A breath knocked loose between us.
Her cheek is pressed to my chest.
My hands are on her waist, her shoulder.
My awareness narrows to contact.
The way her body fits.
The way mine responds without permission.
I release her carefully.
Heartbeat loud in my ears.
She laughs. Steps back. Returns to her day.
I stand here, breath shallow, aware of the space she just left—
aware of how badly my body wants her back in it.
A slow-burn, forbidden contemporary romance about proximity, restraint, and how a woman makes a disciplined man lose control.
