“I’ll take them!”
That’s what I tell the social worker when my pre-k student and his baby brother need an emergency foster placement. I’ll do anything to keep the brothers from being split up. But my apartment’s flooded and there’s only one house I can take them to on such short notice…his.
Knox Daniels, my older brother’s best friend, offers his new place without hesitation. He’s not moving back to our tiny town until next month—that’s when all our hotshot firefighters are returning for their one and only chance to rebuild our fathers’ fallen, iconic crew.
It doesn’t matter that I’ve been silently in love with Knox since we were kids. It can’t matter that we pretend that reckless prom night kiss never happened. It won’t matter that my feelings for him could destroy his lifelong friendship with my brother and threaten the certification of their hotshot crew. Because I’ll be out of his house long before he gets back.
Except Knox just walked in…a month early. And the icing on this awkward cake? He’s gorgeous as always and I’m covered in baby puke. He takes one look at the boys and tells me we can make this work—
We can temporarily fake a relationship to keep them from being separated by the system.
Suddenly, everything matters.
Rebecca Yarros is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of over fifteen novels, including Great and Precious Things and The Last Letter. “A gifted storyteller” (Kirkus), she is also the recipient of the Colorado Romance Writer’s Award of Excellence for Eyes Turned Skyward from her Flight and Glory series.
Rebecca loves military heroes and has been blissfully married to hers for almost twenty years. She’s the mother of six children, ranging from kindergarten to law school, and is currently surviving the teenage years with three of her four hockey-playing sons. When she’s not writing, you can find her at the hockey rink or sneaking in some guitar time while guzzling coffee. She and her family live in Colorado with their stubborn English bulldogs, two feisty chinchillas, and a Maine Coon kitten named Artemis, who rules them all.
Having fostered then adopted their youngest daughter who is nonverbal and on the autism spectrum, Rebecca is passionate about helping children in the foster system through her nonprofit, One October, which she co-founded with her husband in 2019. To learn more about their mission to better the lives of kids in foster care, visit www.oneoctober.org.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
It's been a while since we met the Legacy folks and I am so glad that Rebecca is giving us more of them! If I was a smart person, I would have gone back to read the novellas she released, but this release kind of snuck up on me. You do not have to read those to enjoy this one, but do yourself a favor and read them if you haven't already!
This book is the the best friend's little sister/brothers best friend trop and while I enjoyed it, the whole "you're good enough to be my friend, but not date my sister" thing got on my nerves. A little more than it usually does and I'm not sure why. Thankfully Harper and Knox make it very clear to Ryker, Harper's brother, that they are going to be together no matter what he thinks.
This book also has the marriage of convenience trope and the way that all plans out was very interesting. Harper has opened her home to two boys who have lost their mother and the only place she can go with them is Knox's house. It's brand new and has plenty of space and the only reason she agrees to stay there is because he isn't there. But then he is there and that is when things get interesting.
I really enjoyed this book. Knox and Harper were such a wonderful couple. They both had the biggest hearts and some of my favorite parts of the book were when they were interacting with their foster children. Despite what he thought of himself, Knox was very good with the kids and I found myself melting at how sweet he was at times. And Harper was born to be a mother and had no problem filling that role. It was all so wonderful to watch play out.
Throughout the book there is the secondary storyline of the Legacy crew getting back together. They face some challenges while trying to do that and it was a great way to introduce characters that I am sure we will being seeing plenty of in the subsequent books.
