Jacqueline Shaw has achieved every goal she's set her mind to-except having a successful, loving relationship. Falling time and again for men whose only contribution to her life amounts to perfectly-timed orgasms, and fragmented visions of 'Happily Ever After', she realizes it's time to get off the relationship merry-go-round. And figure out why she was riding so long in the first place. Chase Andrews III is a dedicated firefighter, haunted by nightmares so real he often awakens to the smell of still burning flesh. After eighteen years and countless lives saved, he's been heralded a hero. But the devastating loss of one little boy makes him question his aptitude as a lieutenant, his ability to carry his family's legacy, and at times...his own sanity. After a drama-filled encounter two years before, Chase and Jackie cross paths again in a most unusual circumstance. Both driven by desire, the possibilities of what could be will draw them together. But uncovered secrets, unwanted drama, and unresolved issues threaten their chance at love, and might just leave them BROKEN.
