My Favorite
My Favorite Hero
In a house full of rules, the only one they can’t follow… is staying away.
Jesse Thorne
Local hero, firefighter, loner, and now grumpy landlord.
She wasn’t what he expected.
His new tenant is a walking disaster wrapped in sunshine, breaking every rule he sets and driving him insane.
Controlling her? Impossible.
Ignoring her? Even harder.
And he’s not sure he can stop it.
She’s under his skin, melting his frozen walls, and making him question everything—including his stubborn heart.
Casey Lawson
Roamer, IT specialist, current tenant, and golden ray of trouble.
Her new landlord is a thorn in her side with his never-ending house rules.
He’s always there when things go wrong—rescuing her with his strong arms and that sexy, smug smile. Breaking down her defenses, one gesture, one growl at a time.
They love to argue, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.
And when they give in, it’s explosive.
Can they escape the fire without getting burned?
Author’s Note: If you love explosive chemistry, fiery banter, and a grumpy firefighter who always saves the girl, My Favorite Hero delivers all the heat and heart you crave–grab it now before Jesse Thorne steals someone else’s.

“We need to establish some rules,” I informed her.
“Okay,” she said, perching on the same arm of the sofa her cat had just vacated.
“First off, no renovations or painting without permission.”
“Got it.”
“You’re responsible for paying your utilities on time.”
She nodded. “Right.”
“Your rent is due first of the month.”
“How much is it?” she asked.
I floundered since I hadn’t thought about that.
“Five hundred.”
“Okay.”
“No parties.”
Her lips quirked. “Since I don’t know anyone here, not a problem.”
“No drugs.”
“Even Tylenol?” she asked.
I had a feeling she was laughing at me.
“Hard drugs,” I amended.
“Of course.”
“No wild orgies or overnight guests.”
Her eyebrows flew up. “Doesn’t that sort of fall under the whole ‘no parties’ thing?”
I had no idea why I’d said that. The bottom line was, I had no right to tell her no overnight guests. But somehow, the idea bothered me.
