Burn It Down

Kade I’ve always wanted to be a firefighter, and I never thought I would become a father, but it turns out—I’m both. And while being a firefighter was the only career I ever wanted—being a father has become my greatest destiny in this world. Now I need to do everything I can to protect my son, even if that means going back to my hometown. I won’t let my son down, no matter what, and I will do my duty as a fireman. Hopefully, I can do it without everything else burning down around me. Spencer I never expected to see Kade again—my high school crush and my biggest heartache in adolescence. I’m not the same person I once was. I’m stronger now. I won’t allow myself to be invisible. I love being a teacher, and nothing will stop me from being the best one I can be. But Kade coming back into town with his adorable young son in tow—makes it a challenge. All I can hope is to get through this school year without going back to that unsure, terrified kid. I have to remember who I am—and when that fear comes back, threatening my newfound confidence—I hope I’ll find the courage to burn it down to the ground and come back stronger than ever. View Less
