Colton was young, sexy, and a firefighter. He is looking for love in all the wrong places until Joslyn catches his eye. She's a bbw and the new paramedic at the fire house. Can Colton win her heart and set her body aflame or will it all go up in smoke?

Chapter 1 Prologue

Prologue

Colton was a firefighter the youngest one at the station at only 21 so he felt he had a lot to prove. He focused on his career and worked a lot of hours. It didn't leave much time for romance. He would meet women, but they only wanted him because he was a firefighter. They were mostly gold diggers and heart breakers, and he was over all of that non-sense.

He was tired of women only wanting him because of his looks and career. He didn't have much time to go places and meet women, so he decided to go on a dating site and find love that way. He wasn't going to post his picture so maybe he could find someone he truly connected with.

He was just sick of the usual type he attracted. He wanted someone he could talk to. A woman that made even the worst of days better. Someone that won't want to leave him because he has to leave her for work. He just really wanted to find love. Yes, he was young, but he was more than ready to settle down with the right woman.

Joslyn was 19 and just finished training to become a paramedic. She wanted to save people. To make a difference in the world. She has been so focused on her schooling and taking care of her sick sister before she passed away that she never had time for romance.

She never went on dates or even had a boyfriend. She didn't know how to go about meeting guys and was pretty shy. Joslyn was a plus-size girl and felt men wouldn't want her because of her size. So, she joined a dating site but didn't put up her picture for now.

Joslyn starts talking to this guy with only an initial for his name C. They have been talking for a month and he's pushing for them to meet. She's scared because she's not the most confident person and she's new at this. She likes how they are with each other, but fears meeting will only ruin it.

Will C want her when he sees her for the first time? Can she get over her insecurities and let love into her heart? Will Colton finally find a woman that just wants him for him? Can true love Conquer all?

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.
