He’s a hotshot firefighter who lives on the edge. She’s his captain’s daughter…and his new boss.
Chef Zoe Westin’s number-one priority is making sure no one goes hungry in her hometown of Fairview. Running a soup kitchen is also the perfect way to prove to her dad that helping people doesn’t always mean risking life and limb. After all, the dangers of being a firefighter broke up her parents’ marriage, and she’s only interested in playing it safe.
But when Zoe is saddled with a gorgeous firefighter doing community service after yet another daredevil stunt, the kitchen has never been so hot.
Alex Donovan thrives on adrenaline, and stirring a pot of soup doesn’t exactly qualify. He’s not an expert at following the rules either, not even when they come from the stubborn, sexy daughter of the man who’s not only his captain, but his mentor. He’s stuck with by-the-book Zoe as his boss for four whole weeks, his fate as a firefighter in her hands.
The fact that she tempts him at every turn on top of everything else? Yeah, that only adds fuel to the fire.
Determined to show Zoe that not every risk ends in catastrophe, Alex challenges her, both in the kitchen and out. One reckless step leads to another, but will falling for each other be a risk worth taking, or will it just get them burned?
About The Author
My Review
Firefighter Alex Donovan is an adrenaline junkie, a trait that suits his career but often lands him in trouble. After an incident with a firehouse captain, he’s given a choice: complete four weeks of community service or lose his job.
Zoe Westin, who runs a soup kitchen, is not thrilled to get a reluctant volunteer. She’s dealing with tight resources and a determination to prove to her father, who’s Alex’s boss, that leaving her high-end restaurant job in D.C. to start the soup kitchen was the right move. When she finds out that Alex is her new volunteer, she’s certain he’s going to be trouble.
However, as Alex and Zoe work together, they start to learn from each other. Zoe begins to see that risk-taking can lead to growth, while Alex understands that some rules are worth following. The building chemistry between them adds suspense, and when they finally come together, it’s clear that their connection goes beyond the surface. Their journey from reluctant partners to a genuine emotional connection creates an engaging story of growth, understanding, and love.
