Rescuing You: A Sweet Instalove Firefighter Romance (Big Hot Heroes Book 1): Big Hot Heroes, #1

By Sarah Taylor

Cooper

I'm a firefighter and nothing scares me. I'm used to danger and taking risks.

Who am I kidding? Relationships and getting close to women is something that really freaks me out.

There's something about the girl in the nearby apartment that is changing that though. I'm attracted to her. I want her, but not the commitment.

So when she burns a pizza it's a chance to get to know her a bit better.

Will she accept an invitation to spend the night?

Can I really be that guy who uses her for what I want and then dumps her?

Lucy

My life revolves around the school I teach at and nothing is more important to me than my job.

I'm not the greatest cook however, which is why my pizza burned in the oven that night and how I met the cutest guy ever.

Trouble is, he doesn't want a full-on relationship and I understand his reasons.

I was cool with a one night stand and was prepared to let him be and carry on with my life. But who am I kidding?

I want him bad.

But how do I get him without being pushy and needy?

 

Are you craving a sweet insta-love story? No cliffhangers? Guaranteed HEA? Rescuing You is the perfect short, steamy read you've been waiting for.

Cooper

Holy hell... I mutter under my breath, the grip I have on the cellphone pressed to my ear loosening slightly.

I grab at the blinds of my window, thrusting them down a little further so I can get a better look at the magnificent view beyond the glass pane. The fading sun has cast an orange glow over the apartment building hallway as a woman with scarlet curls and blazing green eyes ambles by. With every step she takes, her hips sway to an alluring rhythm.

Lust stirs inside me, slithering through my veins like liquid fire. I press a hand against my shirtless chest, feeling my heart pulsate a little faster.

The girl next door never ceases to turn me on. With curves in all the right places and enticingly-plump lips, she probably turns heads no matter where she goes.

Lucy Caldwell. I see her name on the building’s mailbox downstairs every day.

Her name is all I know about her, but I'm hooked all the same.

Cooper? pipes the person on the other end of the phone line. Are you even listening to me, man?

Huh? I answer distractedly.  

I lean closer to the window so I can watch Lucy as she digs for her keys. A warm wind blows, tossing her long hair over her slender shoulder.

Damn. I might be a firefighter, but that girl is hotter than any fire I’ve ever seen.

It’s her again, isn’t it? groans Brady.

When he sighs irritably, the sound crackles in my ear. Brady, my best bud in the fire department, is not as amused by my distraction as I am.

A faint chuckle ripples through my chest. Maybe.

Well, stop staring at her, you barbarian, he adds as if he’s standing right beside me.

I clear my throat and step back from the window. The guy might have a point.

It’s not my fault she’s the sexiest girl in this apartment complex, I say with a smirk. Sometime soon, I'm going to make my move.

Brady simply groans again. He’s just jealous that I'm already off work, and he’s stuck at the fire station for another couple of hours. Then again, I had to be up at three in the morning to start my shift. He’d just called to ask if I could come in early tomorrow. Our station is constantly understaffed, which makes the dry heat of late spring extra dangerous. Summer is close, and that means we’re going to start seeing more and more incidents around the city.

Still, despite the danger — or maybe even because of it — being a fireman is what I always wanted to do. While other little kids were dreaming of becoming the president or a veterinarian, I was daydreaming about fighting fires. Feeling that adrenaline rush when flames dance inches from you while
