“I don’t know. I think a fireman throwing me over his shoulder would be hot under almost every circumstance I could dream up.”
The narrators did a great job bringing Dustin and Emberleigh’s story to life! From the initiation of Dustin at the fire house, to the meet ugly, donut pick ups, banter, only one bed, and golden retriever MMC, this story will have you smiling, giggling, tearing up, swooning, and rooting for Emberleigh and Dustin!!
“You’re not losing me. I’m like a rash. You’ll try to scratch me and I’ll just grow on you.”
From a most unfortunate first call as a rookie, Dustin found himself tripping over his pants, carrying a woman out of her house, and managing to get on her bad side…he’s got a lot to make up for! And he is determined to find a way to help Emberleigh see he is not a ‘manhandling oaf.’ He agrees to help Emberleigh join a television baking contest as her ‘fake’ boyfriend, and oh my, does their story have tension 🔥!!

“The deepest wounds in life are often inflicted by those closest to us, Sunshine. That’s not because they’re the worst people. It’s because they live closest to our hearts, so they have a straight shot that others simply don’t have.”
