He was never supposed to be mine. My best friend married him first. Fourteen years later, cancer took her. She's gone. I'm helping raise their kids. One late-night sext changes everything. And everything I've been hiding comes spilling out. Now the fire captain who saved half this town wants me- and admits he always has. But loving him means crossing a line we swore we never would. Everyone will think I was waiting for her to die. Maybe I was. Because some loves don't fade-they wait for the moment you finally stop resisting.
