Description
I was born into a world of wealth and privilege. My birthright was to be at the helm of one of the worldβs leading energy companies. But that wasnβt my purpose in life. Sitting behind a desk of a fortune 500 isnβt what gets me going. Iβll leave that life to my brothers. No. It took me years to find my true purpose. Saving lives. Walking into the depths of hell to pull out survivors. Itβs what gets me out of my bed in the morning, and eventually, itβs what led me to her.
On a day that, to her, mustβve seemed like the wrong place and wrong time, is where I met my destiny. Michelle Clarke. Our worlds collided and I knew instantly that she was mine. Everything in my life up until this point has been preparing me for her.
My childhood.
The eight years I spent in special forces.
And the last six years spent as a proud member of the Williamsport Fire Departmentβs Rescue 4 squad.
All of it was preparation for her. And nothing, not her reluctance, not my brother, and not even her sonβs father will stand in the way of what belongs to me. My job is to rescue people and put out fires, but I will set anyone who stands in our way, ablaze. I will happily pour the gasoline and light the match and set all of this shit aflame, just to ensure she is where she belongs β¦ with me.
