Firefighter, smoke jumper, mm romance, with sex, sex, and more sex. That ten years of feeling like wrong has been done get erased pretty quickly. I guess that was a must since this was a very quick read. Hot firefighter. Hot male on male action. Quickie read.

Trust comes at a price.
Jenson Parkinson can't believe it when Sloane
Marlen shows up at his Colorado mountain fire station. They were lovers years
ago, until Sloane broke Jenson's trust, and his heart.
Sloane knows he's not guilty of the misdeeds
Jenson believes he committed, but he never figured out how to convince Jenson.
Or how to get over him. Can Sloane grab this second chance with both hands and
teach Jenson he's worthy of trust... and love?

“The training session will start
tomorrow morning at nine AM.” Jenson looked at his guys, some of them
volunteer, a few career, and gave them the stern eye. “I know we all have jobs
to do, but they’re expecting a wildfire season like no other this year thanks
to the drought, and the Forestry Service wants all able bodied personnel to be
able to dig firelines, offer support to hot shots and smokejumpers, and know
how not to die.”
They all murmured, but no one argued. Carroll,
Colorado was big enough to have a permanent fire crew only because of the ski
areas that surrounded it, the population transient but relatively wealthy.
Their very existence in this Rocky Mountain paradise was predicated on the fact
that people had expensive homes and vacation rentals which they’d never let
burn down. Jenson frickin’ loved his life. He didn’t want to have to move back
to Denver or Boulder or someplace.
“They’re sending several scientists
who should help map possible fire routing and containment, as well as two of
their lead trainers in hot shots and smokejumping. In addition to our regular
duties, we’ll be giving full attention and support to the training team so that
we can deploy and offer assistance during the wildfire season. Clear?”
His men and women all nodded, and
Jenson gave them all a tight smile. “Good deal. Assignments have been posted
for the new shifts. See Josh for all the deets.” Jenson left the meeting room,
ready to get on with his day as best he could. He had to get the station ready
for the influx of personnel he was about to have, not just the trainers but the
firefighters from other small towns around the area. He knew it was a coup for
the mayor that Carroll was chosen for this big get together of high mucky mucks,
but really, all he knew was he was going to be handing out coffee and doughnuts
to a bunch of assholes who did a lot of dick measuring and making a mess in his
territory.
“You ready for this, Cap?” Carson
Diets asked. Carson was a Forestry guy, and he worked closely with the Carroll
department to keep their area clear and keep the campers educated.
“No.” He winked, though, trying for
light and happy. “If I get through this without losing my shit we’ll all be
grateful. It’s good for the guys, though, right? Trading ideas and shit.”
“Yep.” Carson stepped close and
lowered his voice. “There are a couple of real big names in the biz coming,
Jenson. Just be diplomatic, huh?”
“Don’t make you look bad, is that what
you’re saying?” He grimaced. “Come on, man, I got your back. You know that.”
“I do know that.” Carson clapped him
on the back. “I also know you have a reputation for ruling this place with an
iron fist and being pissy when someone invades your territory.”
“Well, I’ll try to be all sweetness and
light. I don’t suppose you have a roster of who’s coming so I can prepare
myself?”
“I do.” Carson pulled out his phone.
“I’ll email it to you.”
“Great. Thanks.” His head started to
throb, his temples tight and his neck freezing up. Lord. He needed more coffee
before he could deal with this shit. His phone chimed, an email popping up from
Carson when he looked at his notifications. Jenson walked into his office and
set up his K-Cup coffee maker for a hazelnut cream latte. That was his one
luxury, because he was from Boulder, dammit. He loathed the Folgers sludge the
other guys seemed to adore so much.
He sat at his desk and opened the
email, a forward of an interdepartmental memo. When he read the list of
presenters, Jenson’s eyes widened. Oh, Jesus fuck. No way. He tried to blink
away the name he’d just read, but when he opened his eyes it was still there.
Sloane Marlen.
Jenson leaned back in his chair,
letting his head thunk against the backrest. He hadn’t seen Sloane since they
were probies, and he really never wanted to see the bastard again.
There wasn’t enough coffee on earth to
make this shitty day better now. Jenson was never gonna make it through
tomorrow.
