A cop bound by the law. An ex-con shackled by his past. One stolen kiss that changes everything.

Leo Byrne has never questioned his place in the world—adopted into the sprawling Byrnes family, surrounded by love, and dedicated to his job as a cop. Romance has never been on his radar, but watching his best friends build new families sparks a quiet longing for something more. When he shares a kiss with Jason Banks at an event honoring the former convict’s heroism, it should mean nothing. But when Jason and his daughter have nowhere left to turn, Leo steps in to help, knowing full well that taking them into his home is a risk. Falling for the guarded ex-con? That’s a danger Leo never saw coming.

Jason made a deal to protect his daughter and paid for it with years behind bars. Fighting wildfires as a convict volunteer gave him purpose, but now that he’s free, he has nothing—no home, no job, and no way to shield Daisy from the man who still sees her as leverage. The only safe place left is in the arms of the cop, who shouldn’t want anything to do with him. But Jason knows the truth has a way of destroying everything in its path, and if Leo discovers the secrets he’s still keeping, Jason might lose the only chance he has at love—and the only family he’s ever wanted.

But Eric isn’t looking for someone to put him on a pedestal as the big, strong firefighter. He longs for an equal—a partner who sees beyond his strength to the soft heart beneath.

Brady’s carefully constructed life is turned upside down when a tragic accident leaves him as the sole guardian of his niece and nephew. His Developmental Coordination Disorder makes everyday tasks a challenge, but he refuses to let it define him—or stop him from giving Maddie and Lucas the home they deserve. Attending a wedding is already outside his comfort zone, but meeting Eric—a towering man with a gentle voice and an instinct for chivalry—shakes him even more. Falling for Eric is easy; believing a man like him could want someone like Brady is the hard part. But if Brady can silence his fears long enough to take a chance, he just might discover that love doesn’t require perfection—only courage.
