Todd

Loving me won’t keep you warm at night when I’m dead…

Todd –
When my dad died fighting a barn fire it taught me two very important lessons. One, I wanted to be a hero and a fireman just like him. And two, don’t let anyone get close to you, because losing you will destroy them.
It’s not easy pushing away the woman I’ve loved all my life. But I do it to protect her at all costs. I’d rather die alone than leave Sarra behind with nothing but memories.

Sarra -
I’ve loved Todd Montgomery my whole life. Everyone always assumed, me included, that we’d grow up, get married and fill the town with another pack of Montgomery kids.
Unfortunately, he had other plans.
As the youngest fire chief the state has ever had, he takes more pride in his job than in his personal life. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that we’ll only ever be friends. Best friends.
But sometimes I get a glimpse of something more from him. Just enough to keep me waiting. Just enough ‘what if’ to send me to my knees in prayer every night that he will wake up and realize that I’m the only woman who is willing to risk it all to be loved by him.
