On the heels of divorce, Lt. Brett Cash never expected to meet the woman of his dreams. Especially not during a robbery gone bad. Navigating a challenging career, being a single dad of an active toddler, and dealing with a jealous ex is exhausting enough. Falling for the brave teacher he felt an instant connection with was not on his to-do list. She's perfect for him. But she's put him-and his profession-in the friend zone. Emma is a child of a 9/11 hero taken far too soon. And she's not about to let her own teenage daughter go through the same hell she did. Not even for the guy who could be her soulmate. Her kindred spirit. The man of her dreams. But that was before she found herself trapped in a hostage situation with the tempting firefighter who not only saved her during the robbery, but from her PTSD in the aftermath. The last thing Emma Lockhart needs, or wants, is a hero. But just like a hero, he's not about to give up until he rescues every last piece of her heart. Engulfing Emma is a standalone romance in the Men on Fire series. Each book can be read in any order. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There may be topics in this novel that would be upsetting or painful for some.
