Overview

I’m not supposed to like him.

Santa Barbara fire chief Jace Williams’ perfectly organized life fell apart: he’s newly-divorced, suspended from work, and haunted by memories. Where did he go so wrong? And why on earth would anyone trust him to put together their wedding?

Hang-gliding instructor Charlie Bryan hides it with a smile, but he’s haunted by his past, too. His dad’s memory is failing him, and he hasn’t had the heart to tell him he dumped the abusive jerk years ago. He’s never let a guy tie him down since.

The hot clash between messy Charlie and neat Jace gives way to growing affection, but neither of them know what to do about it. They didn't expect to find the one at the best, yet worst, possible time. Is this what real love feels like?

Aftermath is the third book in the After series, which explores mental health challenges with gentle humor and heart while hunky firefighters turn up the heat. It can be enjoyed on its own, and promises a happily-ever-after.
