The Problem with Fire (The Problem Series, #1)

Is age really just nothing but a number?
It depends on who you ask.
Sayer
Sayer Hayes was rocking the hell out of his adult life. At thirty-five, he'd given up on apartments and was finally a homeowner and was proud of it. He was also one of Silias County's best firefighters, and he was one of the best they had. With a great family, two annoying but loyal brothers, and a satisfying career, Sayer had it made. The man really had nothing to complain about.
Actually, that's not true. He has one, teensy, tiny, little, minor issue that's keeping him up at night, and he needs to do something about it soon or go crazy. Sayer has it bad for his next-door neighbor, and for all his calendar-worthy attributes, she barely even looks at him. It's been two months of waiting for Monroe Stewart to notice him, but now it's time to do something about it.
Monroe
Monroe was kind of rocking the hell out of her adult life. Knocking on forty's door, she had her own home but that was a result of her divorce. As far as her career was concerned, her promotion to one of Silias County's building inspectors had come just in time to start the new phase of her life. Though she's had to adjust to a lot of changes, she was doing her best to welcome the new changes.
Actually, that's not true. She has quite a bit of issues that she's still struggling with, and sometimes she feels those issues like an albatross around her neck. With an unhappy teenage daughter, a douchebag of an ex-husband, and the sexy neighbor who keeps washing his car shirtless, Monroe is juggling a lot of fragile balls in the air. Did she mention that her sexy neighbor is also a firefighter? Swoon.
When age is just a number...
When Sayer overhears Monroe's ex-husband accuse her of still pining over him, Sayer steps in and lies his ass off, hoping Monroe will just go with it. Hoping that the hero role will win him some points, all he needs is to get his foot in the door to finally make Monroe Stewart his.
When Monroe's ex-husband accuses her of still pining over him, she's too stunned by his audacity to stop Sayer Hayes from jumping into the mess of her dead marriage. Letting pride decide for her, she follows her sexy neighbor's lead, not suspecting that he has ulterior motives in mind.
Between a crappy ex-husband, an emotional teenage daughter, a conniving co-worker, a matchmaking best friend, two idiot brothers, a station full of firefighters, a nosey neighbor, and a wedding-planning fireman whose determination rivals Stalin, Sayer and Monroe have their work cut out for them.
