Tempting His Best Friend: Kevin

Evie's brother's best friend, Kevin, is not only older and hot, he's a fireman and smoke jumper who won't think twice about running into a burning building to save someone--so why does he take off and leave Evie alone after they'd grown close?

Desperate to escape her home life, Evie takes a job as a stripper, even though the disapproving, know-it-all Kevin thinks she's making a reckless mistake.

When Kevin has to rescue her from a dangerous situation, Evie can't believe the insufferable dolt takes yet another opportunity to make her feel like some damsel in distress who needs saving.

Evie doesn't need him. She doesn't need anyone. She doesn't need the big, strong, hunky older friend of her stepbrother to literally throw her over his shoulder and carry her to safety...

Does she?
