Rescue Four

The men of Rescue Four are known for two things: for being the best the Williamsport Fire Department has to offer and for their rugged sex appeal. Rescue Four's reputation is carried like a badge of honor among all the men, including Eric "Harvard" Kim. Eric is the unofficial leader of the Rescue Four squad and with his quiet yet appealing demeanor he definitely lives up to his squad's playboy ways with the women. That is, until a certain bar owner catches his eye. Eric is hit with a desire so intense and overwhelming he can do little about it except submit to the inferno his desire sparks. Angela Moore is having the time of her life, having opened her neighborhood bar, Charlie's, a year and a half ago. Neatly positioned between two fire stations, Charlie's is a frequent stop for the firefighters in her city and the women who love to chase after them. Growing up the daughter of a firefighter and the younger sister of one, Angela thought she was immune to their charms, until she finds herself in the cross hairs of Eric's. With eyes as dark as sin and a body built for pleasure, Angela finds herself opening up to Eric unlike anyone she ever has before. Just when the couple think they've made it, tragedy strikes, leaving them wondering if one will even survive. Contains mature themes.

I was born into a world of wealth and privilege. My birthright was to be at the helm of one of the world's leading energy companies. But that wasn't my purpose in life. Sitting behind a desk of a fortune 500 isn't what gets me going. No. It took me years to find my true purpose. Saving lives. Walking into the depths of hell to pull out survivors. It's what gets me out of my bed in the morning, and eventually, it's what led me to her. On a day that, to her, must've 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 Department's Rescue 4 squad. All of it was preparation for her. And nothing, not her reluctance, not my brother, and not even her son's 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 . . . with me. Contains mature themes.

Janine: I walked right into him outside my hotel room while on vacation. Somehow that turned into my spending the following three days in Cabo San Lucas with him. Emanuel, the firefighter and obvious heart breaker. But I don't have time for love. Not anymore, after a recent break-up, career change, and relocating to a new city. The last thing I need is to get involved with a man who's just not right for me. I've been strung along enough. So, I give Emanuel a fake name, thinking at the end of my time in Mexico I'd never see him again. How wrong I was. Emanuel: Her name's Janine, not Nadine as she'd told me in Mexico, and she's my new neighbor. It's like the stars align, pushing us together. In spite of the push back on her part, I know we're meant to be. Steadily, I wear her down, breaking through the fears and insecurities her past has given her, showing her that I'm not the man of chaos I once was known as. And while my recent transfer to a new firehouse is going well, there are some lingering secrets that pose a threat not only to myself but the new woman in my life. When everything seems to finally be coming together for us, her past and the lingering threat to Rescue Four threaten to tear us apart. Contains mature themes.

Don: Being a firefighter is not just a job for me. It's a mission. As soon as that bell rings and I put on my protective gear, I'm all business. One false move could cost a life. Rescue Four is the best in Williamsport. One night a deadly fire almost kills my best friend and squad mate, Corey. A fire I know is the result of arson. As the squad investigator, it's my responsibility to get to the bottom of what happened that night. When the leading investigator at headquarters shows himself useless, I resort to working with Jocelyn, Corey's twin sister. Jocelyn: Men can't be trusted when it comes to matters of the heart. It's a reality that I've learned from experience. Now, I use my skills as a private investigator to help women find out the truth. While I don't hate all men, I do believe most are unapologetic cheaters. It's an easy stance to keep up as long as I stay away from the one man who brings out a longing in me I didn't know was still there. Distance proves difficult when I discover someone is after Rescue Four. Once I step in to help Don, I have to remind myself falling for him is not an option. No matter how many nights he ends up in my bed. Contains mature themes.
