She’s running from a past full of shattered expectations.
He thinks she might be the one who’s worth crawling through glass for.
Edgewater is Rebecca West’s fresh start after the breakdown of her engagement. It worked for her brother, so why not for her?
Now, free from her appearance-conscious parents and her controlling ex, Rebecca can live the life she dreamed of as an artist.
That is, until her newly rented apartment and studio burn down.
Narrowly escaping the blaze, she’s left with nothing but her sketchbook and journal with her ‘live your life’ list inside—much to the chagrin of Edgewater’s fire chief when she ran back into the flames to get them.
Caleb Novak thought he’d found his happily ever after—then his wife was killed by a drunk driver. Now a single dad, Caleb has to not only keep his own heart safe, but also his daughter’s.
Things start to heat up when Rebecca is placed in temporary accommodation by the Edgewater Volunteer Displacement Network—with none other than Caleb ‘Firehouse Calendar Model’ Novak and his daughter, Carrie.
And when Caleb catches a glimpse of the ‘personal’ side of Rebecca’s list, all bets are off.
He knew he wanted something good again, and maybe she could be it—but the darkest parts of her past have a way of keeping pace, and Rebecca ‘firefly’ West staying in Edgewater could put more than hearts at risk.

Paper Hearts is a slow burn single dad firefighter coastal small town romance with sizzling spice and achy angst, with a sweet HEA to heal you after.
