Mine just wouldn’t stay there and aggressively came looking for me even after a zip code change, a new job, and new friends.

I wasn’t looking for romance but every time this sexy firefighter looked at me, he lit a fire in me that only he could put out.

My past wasn’t enough to keep me out of his bed. I just have to keep one step ahead of my past.

He has a past that’s haunting and full of heartache. Losing a loved one and a disturbing life event that threatens to kill him.Will he drop his walls and move past it or is the past determined to swallow them both up.

The Keys to Jericho

In high school, I wanted Katriona Merrick more than my next breath. I dropped hints and flirted like hell with her, but she never took the bait. So, I waited. And waited…Graduating a year ahead of her, my resentful goodbye, paired with her oblivious farewell, crushed me. How could I be so wrong about her? She tossed me aside without a second thought, making me swear off so-called love forever. Yet, the emptiness and heartbreak have haunted my every second. And every one-night stand.

Flash forward a decade to my temporary return to my hometown. Running into her was a pipedream wrapped into my worst nightmare. When she blindsides me in an unexpected place sporting a changed appearance, bitterness wars with hope. But as an engineer, I’m an expert at building walls of all kinds, and I refuse to be her victim again.

Before I move to Philadelphia for my new job, a huge part of me wants Kat to suffer the pain she’s inflicted on me all these years. Still, when her past accident rules her present, I offer to help her learn how to drive, with a side goal of finally nailing her. It’s a win-win until she reveals the truth about what I thought was reality.

Though her ditching me created this broken, vengeful, and unfeeling monster, I think I’m the one getting schooled. And another broken heart.
