The new town librarian matched with the town's grumpy fire captain. There was just one problem. His firefighters forgot to tell him. Olivia Bennett thought she was meeting the man she'd spent the last week getting to know online. Instead, Fire Captain Harlan Rhodes sits down across from her with an apology. He didn't write the messages. His crew did. But he couldn't let her sit there alone. One disastrous blind date becomes an unexpected friendship. Soon, Harlan keeps finding reasons to stop by the library, Olivia keeps finding reasons to smile at the quiet firefighter who says more with his actions than his words, and the meddling crew of Station 17—and the entire town of Pine Ridge—decide they're invested in the outcome. But falling in love is the easy part. Trusting someone enough to stay is another story. Cold Start is a sweet & spicy small-town romance featuring: ❤️ Grumpy Fire Captain ❤️ Sunshine Librarian ❤️ Blind Date Setup ❤️ Found Family ❤️ Protective Hero ❤️ Cozy Small Town ❤️ Happily Ever After
