Everyone knows that if you play with fire, you’ll end up getting burned…
When my best friends dragged me to a first responders bachelor auction, I expected drinks, laughs, and some much-needed girl time. I didn’t expect them to bid on a date—for me—with Mauro Bianco.
The former quarterback was my high school crush back when I was invisible. The girl no one ever looked at twice.
Now, Mauro’s a firefighter with a body that could stop traffic, and a smile that’s just as devastating as I remember.
One date. That’s all I’m committed to. A few hours and I can tuck him back into that tattered old shoebox in my closet.
As always, the universe has other plans. I never would’ve predicted that in a matter of days he’d turn from my dream guy into my business partner—and that’s when things got interesting.
