To save her animal shelter,

She’ll have to work with her biggest foe…

With her emotional support dog at her side, Jalissa Tucker will do whatever it takes to ensure the survival of the local animal rescue—even ally herself with her nemesis, firefighter Jeremy Rider. As working together dredges up old hurts, putting the past aside could be the key to their future joy. But can Jalissa resist falling for the man she’s always considered the enemy?

EXCERPT

“Morning, Tucker,” Rider said when he opened her door. “Captain Simms’s wife is already here and has set up the perfect spot for the shoot.” Rider pointed toward the rear of the van. “Animals in the back?”

“Yes. They’re all in crates.”

He opened the back doors then shook his head. “How did you survive the ride with all that noise?”

“Found my happy place.” And one day she’d see Hawaii in person. She loosened Flo and moved back so the dog could exit the van through the driver’s side.

“You know what happiness is?” Rider smirked.

“Hardy har-har.” Jalissa rounded the back to start unloading the animals. “Where am I putting them?”

“Oh, don’t worry about it.” Rider cupped his mouth. “Young, Trent, Barns, come help!”

She wiggled a finger in her eardrum. “I think your voice carries well enough without you shouting.”

“Maybe, but I have no idea where they are in the firehouse. Now you don’t have to carry the animals. Plus, the guys already know where everything is set up.”

“Then I can leave?” She had a load of laundry she could do.

“Oh, no.” He tsked at her. “We need your assistance with the animals.”

Jalissa slowly inched backward but stopped when Flo nudged her. One...two... She could do this. Be near the firehouse for help. She didn’t actually have to go inside, did she? Flo licked her fingertips.

“All right,” Jalissa said slowly. “I’ll just stay out of everyone’s way unless I’m needed.”

“You’ll be needed.” He stared into her eyes.

She blinked slowly. What was going on with her? First thinking Rider was good-looking, and now they were having some kind of moment. She needed to fix this real quick.”
