Es temporal. Es una mentira. Qué podría salir mal?
" Yo los cuidaré!" Eso es lo que digo a la trabajadora social cuando uno de mis alumnos de preescolar y su hermanito bebé necesitan con urgencia una familia de acogida. Haré lo que sea para que no los separen. Pero mi departamento está inundado y, con tan poco tiempo, solo hay un lugar al que puedo llevarlos: la nueva casa de Knox Daniels.
Knox es el mejor amigo de mi hermano mayor, y no duda en ofrecerme su hogar. Falta un mes para que regrese a nuestro pequeño pueblo y, cuando lo haga, él y el legendario equipo de bomberos forestales de Legacy intentarán reconstruir la brigada que fundaron nuestros padres.
No importa que haya estado enamorada de Knox en silencio desde que éramos niños. No puede importar que fingimos que aquel beso en la noche de graduación nunca ocurrió. No debería importar que lo que siento por él podría arruinar su amistad con mi hermano y poner en riesgo la certificación de la brigada. Porque yo me habré ido de su casa mucho antes de que él regrese. Excepto que Knox acaba de entrar por la puerta... un mes antes de lo previsto.
La cereza de este desastroso pastel? Él luce espectacular como siempre... y yo estoy cubierta de vómito de bebé. Knox mira a los niños, luego me mira a mí, y dice que podemos lograrlo. Que podemos fingir una relación, solo temporalmente, para evitar que el sistema los separe.
De pronto todo importa, porque es muy probable que me rompa el corazón.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
It's temporary. It's a lie. What could possibly go wrong?
"I'll take care of them!" That's what I tell the social worker when one of my preschool students and his baby brother urgently need a foster family. I'll do whatever it takes to keep them together. But my apartment is flooded, and with so little time, there's only one place I can take them: Knox Daniels's new house.
Knox is my older brother's best friend, and he doesn't hesitate to offer me his home. He's supposed to return to our small town in a month, and when he does, he and the legendary Legacy wildfire crew will try to rebuild the brigade our fathers founded.
It doesn't matter that I've secretly loved Knox since we were kids. It can't matter that we pretend that kiss on graduation night never happened. It shouldn't matter that what I feel for him could ruin his friendship with my brother and jeopardize the brigade's certification. Because I'll be gone from his house long before he comes back. Except Knox just walked through the door... a month earlier than expected.
The cherry on top of this disastrous cake? He looks as breathtaking as ever... and I'm covered in baby vomit. Knox looks at the kids, then at me, and says we can do this. That we can fake a relationship, just temporarily, to keep the system from separating them.
Suddenly, everything matters--because it's very likely he'll break my heart.
