Mister Bad Boy Firefighter by Penelope Wylde

You know the game, Never Have I Ever? Well, I did—every inch of him and then I left.
I had my reasons, but now I’m back in Big Dix—or Dixen, Alaska—and so is the hotshot firefighter turned fire chief I left at the altar.
It’s been eight years and Aspen Kennedy still has it all: He’s hot as sin, hard in all the right places, induces Oh, god, yes moments and has brains too. Simple math, right? So you would think. But my younger self ran when the time came to say, ‘I do’. Biggest mistake of my life, but I moved on in order to save my heart.
I’ll keep my distance, and since I have no interest in rekindling any romance with my high-school flame while I’m in town, that should be easy. My goal is to help my gran renovate her B&B before Christmas and then I’ll be back in the Big Apple, far away from Aspen.
But the man doesn’t play fair and his memory of my body has me rethinking life on a grander scale, screaming his three favorite words and forgetting about my tight schedule and all the bullet points on my to-do lists. I suppose a few stolen moments of pleasure can be our little secret, right? Trouble is, the more he touches me and the more we’re together, the more I wonder what it would be like to wake up to a Big Dix man for the rest of my days… After the Christmas lights come down, will there be any magic left between us?
