The baby isn’t the biggest secret…

Diana never even knew his name. One impulsive, out-of-character night with a smoking hot firefighter, and now she’s a struggling single mom. She may have had to give up her dreams, but she’s determined to give her precious baby Beth everything—including a chance to know her biological father.

When a twist of fate lets Diana track the firefighter down at last, she’s braced for him to run screaming—not sweep her into his arms and hold her like he’ll never let go. Yet, she can’t escape a nagging feeling that it’s all too good to be true. Is it just her anxiety disorder…or something more?

Or the hidden pain in his past? And as if his personal demons weren’t enough, there’s the literal demons stalking his fire crew—if Diana knew any of it, she’d bolt even faster than little Beth.

Especially if she discovered the biggest secret of all…

He might not be Beth’s father.
