After an accident in the line of duty, firefighter Roberto DeRosaβs life is turned upside down. His career fighting fires is over, and heβs left with an uncertain future and an injury that makes communicating difficult for him. The only time words flow easily is when theyβre lyrics and he has a guitar in his hands. Talking to women is definitely out, especially if they have bright blue eyes that seem to see right into his soul.
Dani Hodge is on the brink of realizing her dream of opening a small combination wine and book store in San Diegoβs funky Ocean Beach neighborhood. But before she can open the doors, thereβs work to be done, more work than she can do herself.
When the tattooed guy who completely ignored her at a bar walks by and offers her a hand wrangling a tile saw, Dani canβt afford to say noβand why would she say no to Mr. Strong and Silent when his stare conveys more than words could?
