Playing with Fire by Skye Jordan

5.0

Lacey is back in town to photograph her childhood BFF's wedding, she's supposed to meet her at the cockloft(bar) but when Nat has an emergency and can't make it she decides she needs a piece of the hot bartender instead.
Tucker lost someone he was trying to rescue 3 months ago and hasn't been with a woman since in spite of the fact that he's a player, a colleague bets him he can't get the new hottie into bed without telling her he's a firefighter. These 2 players collide for the hottest night either one has ever experienced and she vanishes in the morning and Tucker wishes he'd got her number.
The next day Lacey is talked into shooting the firefighter's calendar since their regular photographer cancelled and we get to watch the fun as she realizes what he does for a living and finds out about the bet and all the other fun things that follow.
Lacey is amazing but has trust issues and Tucker has self esteem issues and PTSD from the incident 3 months ago but is such a sweetheart. There is a lot of sweetness and angst in this story as well as a whole lot more steam in this story, panty melting levels!!! We also get to see the couples from the previous 2 books as well which just adds to the found family feelings that are a big part of this series.
TW: drug abuse, depression, recovery, PTSD
