He's Shirtless …With Kids

He's Shirtless...with Kids

A fake fiancé. A fireman with abs. Two small negotiators. And one very flustered neighbor.

Alexa Stone moved to Harts Grove for a fresh start and a little under-the-radar living. What she got instead?

A shirtless firefighter with piercing blue eyes, two adorable kids, and a property line that runs directly up his... distraction zone.

And when a business deal demands a fake engagement? She agrees. Because, professionally speaking, what could possibly go wrong?

Noah Townsend is a former Marine pilot, widowed firefighter, Angel Flight volunteer, and reluctant owner of the local bar. He's raising his kids with quiet purpose and absolutely no interest in the Tesla-driving, gratitude-preaching neighbor-until he needs her help. Then again. And again. With the kids. With the business. And finally, with the chaos she never meant to bring to his door.

And when the threats she thought she left behind catch up? He turns protector.

And the flame between them? It burns-slowly, intensely, inevitably.

The plan?
Keep things temporary.
Avoid feelings.
Help each other out.
Totally doable... until bedtime stories and fire boots start turning into something like a future.

With heart, heat, and just the right amount of magic, He's Shirtless...with Kids. is a story about second chances, messy kids, and discovering that the life you didn't plan for might be the one that fits.

For fans of Katherine Center, Abby Jimenez, and rom-coms with real heart, sharp humor, and a side of emotional wealth.
