Honor

Being a hotshot wildland firefighter is all I`ve ever known. It`s my greatest passion. This job is dangerous, and after watching my parents` marriage fail because of it, I knew long ago I`d never be a relationship kinda guy. That all changes when Teddy moves in down the street. As her brother`s best friend, I`ve always been Xander to her, but secretly I`ve always wanted to be more. She`s recently widowed, with two young kids and another soon on the way. With a heart locked up like Fort Knox after losing her husband, breaking down Teddy`s defences will be damn near impossible . . . but I want to show her that I`m here to stay. As superintendent, my duty to my crew has always been my priority. But with Teddy`s heart on the line, can I give up the only life I`ve ever known? Or am I doomed to be honour bound and lose the only woman I`ve ever loved?
