Scorching for You by Kayla Kelly

Asher:
Rick and his daughter Bridget lived in the house next to ours where I grew up.
After my dad died in a car crash, Rick took it upon himself to act as the father-figure I needed at the time.
…And the whole time; I couldn’t help but fall in love with his daughter Bridget.
Holding Bridget against me feels like a dream.
I’ve never held her before and did not expect to be holding her.
…I don’t want anything to ever hurt her again.

Bridget:
I am back in this town after twelve years after I thought I would never come back.
My father died without me being here and I can feel a part of my heart missing already.
To top it all off, Asher Forbes. What the hell happened to him?
I remembered him as my dorky next-door neighbor. He is not so dorky anymore;
he has turned into a complete hunk.
…I’ve been wanting him to kiss me since I first walked into that fire station earlier and saw him.
