Struggling erotic author Leslie Davenport is looking for the plotline that will send her career soaring. At the urging of a friend, she moves to Cherish, a city bursting with menage relationships. Leslie sees a bestseller in the making, but she'll need a couple of willing research subjects to make her book a hit. When hunky firefighters Ryder Cox and Blaine Ellis save her cats from a burning building, she knows they're the men for the job. But when business and pleasure mix, she wonders if a happily ever after ending is possible. Ryder and Blaine have been hurt before. Ryder has steered clear of women while Blaine has played solo. When a sizzling sex kitten like Leslie requests some two-on-one time at the firehouse to research her next book, Blaine is eager to start her fire education. Ryder cautiously agrees, too. But when that education lands them in bed, they learn more than their hearts may be ready for.
