Cassie Wolford has crushed on fireman Quinn Gallagher ever since he moved to Clearwater three years ago. There's just one problem: he's always made it clear dating is out of the question. But once a Wolford sets their sights on someone, that person doesn't stand a chance! Cassie decides it's time for Quinn to get a dose of his own medicine ... and sets out to show him what he's missing! Quinn knows only too well what Cassie's up to but he can't give her what she wants. He isn't good for anyone, much less someone as sweet as his angel. Fighting her off hurts like hell, but giving her false hope of a happy ever after would be damn cruel. That's why he has to leave Clearwater. Unfortunately, someone from his past has different ideas and when Cassie's life is threatened this former Navy SEAL is staying put, prepared to crawl through hell and back to keep her safe. And it looks like he might just have to.
