Forever Nate: Once Upon a Player, #1

By Elena Matthews

Once upon a time… 

 

A sister told her brothers, "Eventually, a girl is going to come along and flip your worlds upside down."

 

She was right… 

 

...and Nate was the first to fall. 

 

After saving Remi from a house fire, Nate's instantly drawn to her...like a moth to a flame.

 

He should forget about her, the way he does with everyone else he saves. 

 

However, that's easier said than done when he can't stop thinking about her or those pretty green eyes. They are almost branded into his brain. 

 

It breaks his rules to visit her. Even if it's to check she's okay. 

 

But screw it...Nate's rules can go and burn. 

 

The woman from the fire is more than he expects; funny, sweet and hot as hell.

 

Suddenly those careful plans he has in place no longer seem important.

 

Can Nate create something unique with the woman of his dreams, or will his past, jealous best friend and her crazy ex-boyfriend take the spark that is their attraction and make it disappear in a puff of smoke?
