The Two-Date Rule

Where There’s Smoke | book 1 | February 2020

Willa Frank has one simple rule: never date a guy more than twice.
Life’s finally steady and her business is paying the bills.
Then she meets smokejumper Grady Billman.
Heroic, hot, and hilarious, he’s the whole sexy package.
After one incredible date, Grady’s not ready to call it quits.
He jumps out of planes into fiery forests for a living.
Surely he can work around Willa’s two-date rule?
Grady normally ducks relationships like burning branches.
But something about Willa—smart, kind, beautiful—has him twisting himself into knots
planning dates that definitely
aren’t dates.
Beer and board games? Totally not a date.
Everyone knows Twister doesn’t count.
Gropey mini golf? Duh, sports can’t be a real date.
With every “non-date” Grady suggests, his reasoning gets more ridiculous.
Willa’s gotta admit, it’s fun playing along.
Then their time together costs Willa two crucial clients.
She needs to quit playing around and focus on the future.
Really, Grady should do the same.
So why does her future suddenly look gray without Grady in it?
