He was her dad's best friend and the only man she's ever loved. Bound by honor, he's kept his distance. But when he learns she's planning to date a rookie firefighter, will jealousy finally push him to claim the heart that's always been his?

Ella
Javier Sanchez was my father's best friend. He's also the only man I've ever loved. When my dad died, he made Javier promise to look out for me. Ever since, he's always been there to comfort and protect me -- as friends. I'm sure his feelings for me run deeper than he'll admit, but he's too honorable to act on them. But I'm tired of waiting for him to make a move, so I join an online dating site. Hideaway Valley is a small community, so I know it's only a matter of time before Javier finds out I have a date with one of the rookies at the fire district. Will I be able to push him over the edge with jealousy, and finally force his hand, or will my plot backfire and push him out of my life for good?

Javier
I've been in love with Ella Monroe since she left college and arrived back in town, but I've always known I can never have her. She's the daughter of the old fire chief and my former mentor, and when he died unexpectedly a few years ago I promised him I'd look out for her. So that's what I've done. But with each passing day and every moment I spend in her presence, it becomes harder and harder for me to fight my urges -- especially when Ella makes it clear she longs for my touch just as much as I long to touch her. When we finally kiss, the guilt overwhelms me and I tell Ella it can't happen again. Then I find out she has a date with some young punk on my crew, and I don't think I can stand by and let the boy have her. Ella needs a real man to love and protect her, but will I break the promise I made to my best friend?
