Some people keep a diary. I've kept a secret: Ryder Bannon, the hot firefighter who just returned to our small town -- and happens to be my brother's best friend.

Vanessa:
I'm doing fine on my own.
I don't need Ryder and his sculpted muscles and his stupid grin and the bluest eyes known to humankind.
A lot has happened since we broke up in high school.
I own a thriving business. My siblings and I are very close.
I've made a fulfilling life for myself ever since our parents died.
Things really are great.
Why is it, then, that when the gorgeous firefighter shows up out of the blue, I want to scale him like a tree?

Ryder:
Should I have kept Vanessa a secret from my best friend? No.
Have I been able to forget her? Also no.
She's curvy, sassy, independent, and has owned my heart since we were teens.
So when I'm presented with the opportunity to move back to our small town as the new fire captain, I jump at the chance.
The catch? She's my best friend's little sister and off limits.
Now I've just got to figure out how to win my girl back without scaring her away and losing my best friend.

Aubrey Kent loves all things romance! Her books promise smart heroines, swoon-worthy men, and a guaranteed HEA -- plus some serious heat along the way.
