For Josh Barnes, a serious relationship is the last thing on his mind. Since coming home from the military, all he wants is to fulfill his childhood dream of racing the Iditarod. But while he treasures being out in the vast Alaskan wilderness with his team of sled dogs, it's not easy managing the kennel while working as a firefighter in his charming hometown of Golden Falls, Alaska. And it's darn near impossible to make time for love-not that he's looking for that, anyway. Short-term and casual is more his style, at least until he meets a certain hazel-eyed beauty who throws off all his ideas about romance. Hayley March, start-up entrepreneur of an Alaska-based dating service, has great success helping others find "their person." But when it comes to finding love herself, the professional matchmaker doesn't know what she's doing wrong. Enter Josh Barnes, the sexy firefighter she uses as a profile subject for her Bring Your Heart to Golden Falls campaign. Josh is perfect in every way--except he's only looking for a fling, while Hayley's looking for forever. When Hayley enlists Josh to be her dating coach, she agrees to a temporary liaison under the condition that he point out her dating blind spots and help her become a catch for the next guy who comes along. She reluctantly moves on after their passionate fling, and Josh realizes he might have been a fool to let her go. But is he really ready for forever?
