Kerry likes his beer cold, his coffee hot, and sex without strings. Running an emergency response crew takes up most of his time, and he reserves the rest for his family. Besides, he's experienced enough heartache for two lifetimes and isn't looking for more misery. Kerry's carefully crafted peace shatters when he meets Keegan, a hazel-eyed hottie and his brother's new friend.

Falling for Kerry is a collision waiting to happen, but Keegan can't resist the heroic hunk's charm. Smoldering eyes and wicked grins tempt Keegan to go flat-out, even when he's barreling toward a dead end. Rejection is the last thing his newfound confidence needs, but the crash might be worth the risk if Kerry's there to give him mouth-to-mouth.

A crowded bar. A slow song. Months of mutual pining reach a fever pitch, and the invitation is out of Kerry's mouth before he can stop it. Three minutes. Two battered hearts. One dance that changes everything.

Brick by brick, Kerry and Keegan dismantle the walls around their hearts to build something beautiful together. But old habits die hard, and traumas are slow to heal. Their love will either be the most beautiful gift or the messiest mistake.

Contains mature themes.
