Some crushes never die.

Like the one I've had on my friend—who also happens to be a scorching hot firefighter— forever.

Did I mention that he's my sister's best friend? Or that he put me firmly in the friend-zone years ago, after one amazing kiss?

So, eventually I moved on… married my high school boyfriend.

But just months later, I learned my husband betrayed me and became a widow, all within twenty-four hours.

Angry, hurt, and grieving, I need all the friends I can get.

As usual, Charlie Fitzgerald steps up big time.

For years, he's been my friend, my protector… the only other man I've ever had romantic feelings for.

Unreciprocated feelings.

At least that's what I thought—but I'm staying with him and there's clear evidence that I thought wrong.

When Charlie finally lets me out of the friend zone, the emotional connection is intense, and the physical connection is sizzling hot.

Just when I think we're going to get a happy ending, it's ripped away.

Because Charlie can't see that he's the hero in my story, not the villain.

And it looks like we're both going to lose out on love because of it…

If you love friends to lovers, slow burn, best friend's sister, this one is for you!

Stay With Me is the third full length novel in the Elladine Fire romance series. Each book in the series is told in the first person, dual point of view featuring a different couple. While the books may technically be read in any order, Finley recommends you read Come Back to Us first since it contains an event that comes to play in most of the other books.

If you love small town feels, smart and strong female main characters with sexy main male characters who fall hard for the women in their lives, this series is for you. Oh, did we mention all the main male characters in the books are either firefighters or police? So, if you love romance and like a little bit of steam along with it, dive into the Elladine Fire series by Finley Daniels today.

Suggested reading order:

Just Right (prequel novella) - can be read at any point in the series but takes place several years before Come Back to Us

Come Back to Us- read as the first full length novel in the series

Come Dance with Me

Stay With Me

Only You and Me
