Which is how I ended up confessing my love to a stranger at the grocery store.The same stranger who also happens to be a firefighter—a very grumpy one—for the exact fire station I owe a debt to.I didn’t mean to embarrass the man, and I certainly didn’t mean to make him famous. That was a happy coincidence.He could use some humor in his life.But when I decided to be my own queen and take back my life, I didn’t expect fake dating the grump to be a part of it.Fake boyfriends aren’t supposed to come with real feelings.Moving on is harder than I thought.WardRescuing a little boy at the grocery store was just a normal day for me. Except usually I’m in gear and getting paid to do so.Noticing his mom was not part of the norm.I saw stuff in the war no one wants to see. The kind of stuff you don’t bring up on a first date. Which is why I haven’t. Dated, I mean.I’ve made it clear that I want to be left alone, but it doesn’t stop my mom from setting me up with women I have no interest in.I’m certainly not interested in Lyndi. She’s a single mom, whose carelessness made me famous.Okay, so I can’t blame that all on her—as much as I’d like to.But she’s there when I need her, and apparently, I need a fake girlfriend.My best friend insists my heart died in the war, then why does it beat so fast when Lyndi is around? less
