Torch by Kate Hunt

Madeline:
When I run into my old high school crush, Alex, I can’t believe my eyes. The former bad boy is now a noble firefighter—and buff as sin.
The mutual desire we never acted on back in the day is quickly rekindled. It also rapidly becomes clear that this is way more than just some five-alarm fling.
But as incredible as things are with Alex, I’m not sure I can deal with being with someone who’s always putting his life on the line. I’ve lost a loved one that way before, and going through it again might break me.

Alex:
I was a mess when I was a kid. Rebelling, stealing, setting stuff on fire…you name it, I did it.
If it wasn’t for a particular wake-up call, I’d be in one hell of a bad place right now.
But that wake-up call did happen. I got my act together. I got my ass in gear and became a firefighter.
The only thing missing in my life now is a wife to cherish.
Enter Madeline: the girl I longed for in high school, the girl with the knockout curves, the girl of my dreams. I can practically already hear the infectious laughter of our kids.
And I’ll do whatever it takes to make our future together happen.
