One Night Flame

My grandmother spent a thousand dollars on the town’s hottest firefighter, for me. I never expected him to show up for everything that came after.

Between teaching first grade and raising my six-year-old son alone, I barely have time to sleep, let alone date.

My grandmother has other ideas.

One outrageous bid at Huckleberry Creek’s firefighter bachelor auction buys me a date with Cord “Hollywood” Gaffney, the charming, golden-haired heartthrob who looks as if he stepped straight out of a calendar. For one night, I let myself forget the lesson plans, laundry, and little boy waiting at home. I don’t tell Cord I’m a mother. I just want a few hours to be Lucy again.
