Abby Williams lost her husbandโand the future she envisionedโto a roadside bomb in a foreign land, so a kitchen fire is no big deal. When the local firemen show up to put out the blaze, the army widow finds herself attracted to one hot volunteer firefighterโฆuntil she realizes itโs Justin Donovan, a man five years her junior.
Justin has long carried a torch for Abby. But after she got married ten years ago, he put her out of his mind, left Ardent Springs for Chicago, and got a job as a real estate developer. Now heโs backโfor reasons heโd rather not shareโand he wants to prove to Abby that age is nothing but a number. Will Abbyโs reluctance and Justinโs secrets extinguish any attempts at romance? Or will the sparks between them ignite a second chance at love?
