Blaze by D. Williams

I've lived my life exactly how I've wanted to, chasing fires. Until the best night of my life made me rethink the word responsibility. Suddenly, risking my life jumping out of planes into forest fires wasn't worth the chance of not coming home. Especially when I have two little girls waiting on me.

So I retired.

Bought a house, learned how to change a diaper, and have been trying to change that life I thought I wanted into the one I have and desperately want to keep.

Being a father.

But danger also has a way of finding me, and I'm afraid it might cost me everything I've been trying to hold on to.

The club took me in with open arms. I'm training local firefighters at the academy and trying to date the love of my life, if she'd give me the time of day, because I won't stop until she's my wife.
