Protecting What's Mine: A Small Town Love Story (Benevolence Book 3)

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lucy Score welcomes readers to the fictional town of Benevolence, Maryland with a fiery enemies to lovers romance between the playboy fire chief the fierce new trauma surgeon that can't help but carve out a place for herself at his fire scenes, around his neighborhood, and in his bed.

Fire Chief Lincoln Reed is known for his heroics in the fire department and in the bedroom. Life is a never-ending good time. Until flight trauma surgeon Mackenzie O'Neil lands in the middle of the accident scene he’s working…and then it turns out she's his new neighbor. Too bad she’s immune to flirty first responders.

Mackenzie is on a crash course with burnout. She’s got a scar on her face and a shake in her hands. A temporary job as in a small-town family medical practice is just the prescription. She’ll learn to meditate. Sleep more. Take up gardening.

She definitely won’t take her shirtless, firefighting neighbor’s hot body for a test drive.

But Linc and his tattoos are very persuasive. What’s a harmless little adrenaline-fueled fling between neighbors? It’s all naked fun and games until the shadows from Mack’s past find their way into her present. Can Linc be her hero when she needs him the most or will their scars ruin everything?

One thing is certain: Someone is going to get burned.
