Fighting wildfires is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do and I’m damn good at it. Being the captain of an interagency hotshot crew of wildland firefighters is high-risk, high reward. But the risk blindsided me five years ago when I lost one of my crew and it changed me forever. Now I work harder, smarter, and the only rewards I allow myself to enjoy easy, sexy nights with strangers.

Until I meet Prescott Timmons. Her smart-mouth and adventurous spirit have me forgetting all my rules—except when her past shows up, my lies start to feel too familiar. I swear to never spare her a second glance, but when she finds herself in a life-or-death situation with mother nature, my instincts kick in, and I take action. Stranded and sharing a bed again, we’re forced to face our truth. Do we fight to keep the fire between us or let it burn out?

Gavin
Anyone but her. Eva Adams—the entitled, picture-perfect cheer princess. Incapable of empathy, patently manipulative, and absolutely beautiful. I can’t afford her drama—I just want to play my last year of hockey without being kicked out of TU, but there she is on my first day back. Crying. In a weak moment, I make her an offer. An agreement I never thought she’d take. Except she surprises me, and now I’m faced with a dilemma. Protect my secrets…or win the girl.

Eva
Anyone but him. Gavin King—the rebellious, coffee-slinging hockey god. Arrogant, irreverent, and way hotter than he has any right to be. Despite the lady tingles, I’d be happy to spend my last year at TU without seeing his face—or his tattoos—again. It should be easy. I have cheer, I have my friends, and I have nowhere to live. To my eternal frustration, he offers me a solution…for a price. When I take the deal, I can’t help wondering what else I’ll give him before the end.

Accomplished, acerbic, and infamously attractive CEO Gus Winter is finally going to sell his company to Davenport-Ridgeway—a move insiders have anticipated for fifteen years. It’s the deal of the century. On the other hand, jet-setting socialite Julia Ridgeway, whose billionaire father is the Chairman of Davenport-Ridgeway, couldn’t care less about the acquisition if she tried. So, it’s no surprise she doesn’t realize the insanely hot man she verbally decimated at her father’s birthday party just so happens to be—you guessed it—Gus Winter. Now, Gus refuses to sell his company…unless Julia spends one night with him.

But what Gus doesn’t realize is that nobody can tell Julia Ridgeway what to do. Not her billionaire father, not her ambitious older brother, and definitely not Gus. She’ll agree to Gus’s terms, but there’s no way she’s going to make it easy.But that’s perfect because Gus had zero intention of making it easy for the quick-witted heiress who rejected him either.

With everything riding on these two alphas (who couldn’t have less in common…other than a magnetic, ravenous, physical attraction to the other) the deal is uncertain. In fact, only one thing is certain: Julia and Gus both pissed off the wrong billionaire.
