I dreamed and fantasized about this man forever. I just never knew he was real. He is, though. He’s real, and he wants me!

Livia

“He’s larger than life, an impossibly handsome and muscular man who’s also a firefighter. He’s attractive enough that anyone could be surprised that he’s real. But I know those eyes. I know that perfect beard. I know this tall and sexy man, but only because I’ve fantasized about him for years. How could a man I just made up in my head be the one who saved my life? But he’s real. He’s not my imagination. He’s real. All of my fear that the fire left me damaged disappears and the feeling that replaces that worry isn’t fear at all even if it makes my legs weak and my heart beat rapidly....”

God, this man is perfect. I know he’s perfect because I made him up. I made him up as a child and fantasized idly about him some day showing up and sweeping me off my feet. When I’m trapped in the fire, I’m sure I’m going to die. It’s natural to be attracted to the man who rescues me, but this man.... How can he be real? How can the fantasy man I invented carry me out of the burning skyscraper? And how can I deal with my desperate and absolute need for him?

Joshua Drake is a dedicated and fearless firefighter at Company 417, the type to set his personal safety aside when someone is in danger. One day, the person in danger is Livia Grace. She’s a raven-haired beauty worthy of every love song ever written. She’s also in deep trouble, trapped in a burning building. When Joshua saves her, she’s instantly smitten. It doesn’t take long before the two of them are both smitten. The problem is this bear shifter isn’t the kind of a bear that wants to be tied down by civilization. He’s a creature of the wild and he likes it that way. He doesn’t want to change that, but this is the first time in his life he’s ever had a reason to reconsider his wild ways.
