Todd — Dakota Rebel

He's Risking His Life to Save Others... But Who's Going to Save His Heart?I've loved Todd Montgomery for as long as I can remember. Everyone in town just assumed we'd end up together — me included. We had that kind of love story everyone saw coming... until Todd decided to rewrite the ending.Now he's the youngest fire chief the state's ever had, putting everything he has into saving lives — except his own happiness. And definitely not me.We're still best friends. I still see him every day. But sometimes, he looks at me like I'm more. Like I'm his.Just when I think he's ready to let me in, he slams the door shut again.He thinks loving me is too risky. But he's wrong.Because I'd rather love him for one day than spend a lifetime wishing I'd tried.But if he doesn't realize it soon, I'll have no choice but to walk away — even if it breaks my heart to do it.A swoony, small-town romance filled with slow-burn longing, emotional tension, and a firefighter hero too stubborn to see the love right in front of him. For readers who love second chances, best friends to lovers, and the kind of heartache that hurts so good.
