Cole by Carly Keene

JENNA:
I’m fresh out of the shower one evening when somebody starts pounding on my door.
A handsome firefighter tells me my apartment building is on fire, and I must evacuate—now.
When the fire’s out and I’m finally allowed to go back inside, I sprain my ankle on the stairs.
I can’t walk, so the guy who pounded on my door offers to carry me back to my place.
I accept.
And his hands on me are hot enough to start another blaze… this time, in my heart.

COLE:
Just another apartment building, just another fire.
But the curvy beauty in 3B heats my blood like nobody ever has before.
When she gets a minor injury, I carry her upstairs.
And then I don’t want to let go of her.
Ever.
I’ve been fooled before. Can I trust my heart to do the right thing?
