This novella was also in the Five Alarm Alpha boxed set.

Sometimes your soulmate has been right in front of you their whole life. It shouldn’t take almost losing them to find them. 

Volunteer firefighter Zac Buchanan has been carrying a torch for Tabatha Morgan since…well, forever. A promise he made years ago backfired, sending Tabatha into the arms of another man, and him into a decade of heartache. Now Tabatha’s back in town, newly divorced, and the sparks between them are setting them both aflame.

Tabatha would have bet her secret five-alarm chili recipe that her school girl crush on Zac had died out long ago. Except those slumbering embers reignited the moment Zac walked into her diner. Now each time she sees him—hears him, thinks about him—she can’t imagine her life without him again.

But if their new-found love and sizzlin’ hot action in the bedroom—and living room, kitchen and bathroom—is to survive, Tabatha must also accept the smoke, flames Tabatha must also accept the smoke, flames and danger of Zac’s job. Or their happy-ever-after will forever be extinguished.

I read this when it was part of the Five Alarm Alpha's boxed set some months ago. It has been released as a single now and is the first in a new series by Leah Braemel. This is a hot little read about second chance love and being brave enough to let that other person know you care for them as more than a friend and hope the same is returned. Zac Buchanan is fighfighter along with his best friend Quinn. Thinking he owed it to that Quinn he tries to push Tabatha Morgan the woman he's wanted for years, together. All out of some dumb sense that he owed his friend and a promise made years earlier. It doesn't take his friend long to nip that in the bud and set Zac and Tabatha on a romantic path together. The two just click but like any relationship there are always obstacles in the road. They have to decide if they can deal with that might happen in the future. Love how Leah Braemel starts out this new series about Firefighters. Zac is sex on a stick and Tabatha is as crazy about him as he is for her. My only complaint is i wish the book had been longer. Can't wait to hopefully see more of this couple in future books in the series.
