Everything He Couldn't

Walker Gibson fell for his best friend's girl long before his best friend died and left her pregnant and alone in Newberry Springs. A firefighter haunted by guilt over John's death, he stayed away from widow Evelyn for months even though the small town put her in front of him every day. Then Evelyn faces a custody fight that threatens to take her baby daughter, and Walker makes an impossible offer: marry him, let him give her little family his name and protection. He tells himself it is atonement, not desire. But living under the same roof with the woman he has always wanted turns every touch into temptation, and loving her and her daughter means risking the truth he has buried.
