And his love is a gift I never expected to receive. Pierce Rescuing people is what I do.And the moment I see the sexy single mom standing flustered in the checkout lane, I can’t stop myself from stepping in to help.Sparks fly when she pops into the fire station to say thank you.Even though she tries to deny it, I know I’m not the only one who feels the chemistry between us.For the first time, there’s a fire I don’t want to extinguish.Not when I know I can stoke the flames and burn down those walls around her heart.
