Will McAdams is a New York City firefighter who has always lived in the shadow of his older brother, never quite measuring up to his parents standards. He lives his life without regrets, and answers to no one. The women love him and he uses that to his advantage, making it clear that he only has one use for them.
Gabby Spencer is a nurse in the burn unit of a busy New York City hospital. Her guarded personality doesn’t allow many people into her life and her patients take the place of her lack of family. She masks the pain that she is harboring deep inside with quick wit and sarcasm.
When Will becomes one of Gabby’s patients they form a special bond and soon become each other's solace. But Will doesn’t see her like every other woman in his life. She means the world to him and he feels an underlying need to always protect her – most of all from himself. Even though he wants her more than he’s ever wanted any other woman, he’s not willing to take that next step and jeopardize everything they have. When jealousy and pain begin to overtake their once perfect friendship, will Will's fear of falling in love and never measuring up, cause him to lose the one and only woman to ever own his heart?

Excerpt
Gabby rambled on until our food came, only
stopping when her eyes lit up at the size of her burger.
“Told ya!” I teased.
“Told me what?” she asked, taking a bite of her
fry.
“I saw the look on your face when you saw the size
of that burger.”
“This little thing?” she asked, looking down at
her plate. I nodded. “Oh please, Will. I’ve had bigger ones than this in my
mouth.” I almost spit my ice tea all over the place. “I meant burgers, pervert!”
“Mmm, hmmm. I bet you did!” She smirked as she
smothered her burger in ketchup and relish. “Geez, Gabby. Why don’t you have
some burger with your ketchup and relish?”
“I love ketchup!” she said, licking it off her
fingers.
“I can see that!”
“Don’t you?” she asked, opening her mouth wide and
taking a bite.
“Yeah, but not half the bottle. Definitely not
relish, though.”
“Mmmm….you don’t know what you’re missing!” she
said, taking another huge bite. “Here, taste.” She held the burger up to my
mouth.
“Gabby, it’s drenched in -.”
“Come on, Will. Don’t be afraid to try new
things.” I opened my mouth and took a bite. It wasn’t half bad. “Not bad, is
it?” she asked with her adorable grin as she picked up the napkin and wiped the
ketchup off my face.
I took the top bun from my burger. “Lay it on me,
Gabby girl!”
She held her hand up to give me a high five
before picking up the bottle of relish and ketchup. “Woohoo! Sister Gabby has
made you seen the error of your ways. Bless you, Will,” she giggled.
She squirted on the ketchup and relish, and
lifted her burger up to her mouth. “Come on, Will. Let’s do it together,” she
teased in an overly sexy voice.
“You are a piece of work, you know that?” I
chuckled.
She took a bite of her burger at the same time
as me. I never thought that someone could actually look adorable chewing food,
but Gabby proved that theory wrong. She swallowed it down and took a sip of her
milk shake. “Was it good for you?” she asked. Neither one of us were able to
control our laughter. It didn’t get any better than being here with her.
