Carrie Nichols - His Unexpected Twins

“I want to help the people I’ve grown up with. Give back to a community that gave so much to me. I haven’t forgotten how everyone rallied around when I was sick.” Damn. She hadn’t meant to bring up the past like that. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

When he didn’t comment but put an arm around her shoulder, she relaxed against him. “What about you? I heard you’re determined to follow in your dad’s footsteps at the fire department.”

He nodded. “That’s the plan. I should hear if I made captain soon. My dad was one of the youngest captains and I’m hoping to follow suit.”

“So we haven’t convinced you yet that Loon Lake is a great place to live?” She tried to keep her tone light, but she needed to hear him say it so maybe her stupid heart would get the message.

“Are you kidding?” He shook his head as he toyed with her hair. “The Loon Lake firehouse is part time. If not for guys who are willing to work in the department on their days off from full-time jobs, Loon Lake FD would be an all-volunteer one.”

“And that’s bad why?” Her body tensed on behalf of the guys she knew who worked for the town.

“It’s not bad. It’s how most small towns are able to afford full-time protection,” he said. “But it’s not what I want.”

She swallowed. Yeah, that’s what she thought. Riley Cooper and Brody Wilson might have embraced small-town life, but Liam evidently didn’t feel like he could do the same.
