Firefighter Roman: A Small Town Chef & Firefighter Recruit Instalove Opposites-Attract Steamy Romance (Ashwick Fire & Rescue #5)
Brynn Keller
I've lived in Ashwick my whole life. I know everyone, I love this town, and I've never once wondered if I was missing something.
Until Roman Park walks into Cal's kitchen and ruins my lunch.
He's a chef from Atlanta - intense, precise, and temporarily borrowing The Switchback's stove while he figures out his next move. His food is extraordinary. His hands are a problem. And the way he looks at me like I'm something worth understanding is the biggest problem of all.
He came here to breathe. I was supposed to stay out of his way. Instead I'm tasting everything he makes and telling him exactly what's wrong with it, and somewhere between the farmers market and a grease fire and one very honest conversation in a parking lot, I stop pretending I'm not in trouble.
Roman says he's staying. I want to believe him. But I've watched people fall in love with this town and leave, and I'm not sure my heart can afford one more beautiful thing that doesn't last.
Tropes: outsider/small-town girl, instalove, chef hero, forced proximity, he cooks for her, opposites attract, HEA guaranteed
