    Summary

    “What’s this?” asks Buck, picking up a pamphlet from the loft’s kitchen counter.

    “I’m pretty sure you can read, Buck,” answers Chim, popping his gum. Usually, Buck wouldn’t be irritated by that, but Chim’s the interim captain due to Bobby’s cruise, and everything gets on his nerves.

    “I can read,” Buck huffs. “I’m just confused. How does this work?”

    He looks down at the pamphlet again. The deep red letters that say, are you a first responder looking for a buddy who understands your woes? — Fireapp’s got you covered!

    _____

    OR Buck joins a support app for first responders and matches with a firefighter who has PTSD and a kid who likes giraffes, apparently.

    Summary

    Without waiting for a reaction or reply, the man bore down on the gas and peeled down the highway, leaving Buck stranded in the middle of nowhere somewhere along Interstate 10.

    And as Buck watched the red brake lights of his Jeep disappear into the distance, clutching his prescription of blood thinners tightly to his chest... there was really only one thing left to do. Tilting his head back until he was staring at the stars, he took a deep breath and screamed into the night:

    “Fuck!”

    And much like every other one of his recent cries for help, it had gone unanswered.

    ---

    Buck gets carjacked, held at gunpoint, and stranded in Arizona the day before his first shift post-lawsuit. And that's only the beginning of his troubles.

    Summary

    Evan Buckley was in a tragic accident that forced him to medically retire from being a firefighter. Book and Ladder, his bookstore/coffee shop, is his second chance at doing something he's passionate about.

    Eddie Diaz is newly divorced and out of the closet, in a new city as a brand new firefighter.

    It was practically inevitable that they would cross paths, and they soon find something more than friendship blooming between them.
