After a devastating hurricane, Miami firefighter Ricky Wilder rescues dozens of devastated people from the wreckage of their homes — including Allie Matthews. The beautiful stranger has no place to go, and Ricky insists she stay with him. But the notoriously commitment-shy Ricky has never let a woman invade his life. And he’s starting to like having Allie with him far too much… Cautious Allie is astonished at Ricky’s generosity, but she’s wary of leaning too much on his broad shoulders. She’s always prided herself on being independent and Ricky seems determined to court danger. Can she risk caring for someone who insists on living his life on the edge? Also includes the bonus story Shelter from the Storm by New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne
