Danny wanted to exist inside that explosion and let himself be consumed by it.There are a certain kind of people who were meant to become rich, but Danny Zhou isn't one of them. He's a simple man with simple tastes. In life he's only ever wanted a few things:A house.Maybe a dog.He wouldn't say no to a white picket fence.And a gorgeous husband wouldn't hurt.But the sudden explosion of his delivery app changed his life, and not for the good.Returning home with a shattered heart and a full bank account, Danny starts the search for a life with substance, and takes up his old post as a volunteer fire fighter. He's not sure what to expect, but it's most definitely not Jamie Kane, the gorgeous, Deaf fire fighter with a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas, and seems to hate the very sight of him.Danny knows he shouldn't look at that man and see a future there. Men like Jamie are not men for happily ever afters. But something in his dark eyes says to keep trying. Something in his strong, careful hands says Jamie is definitely worth the fire, even if Danny gets burned.Like Water Catching Fire is a second edition re-release of a book published in 2018 with small but significant changes. It's a slow-burn, stand alone, firefighter romance featuring a stoic, Deaf Hawaiian man who isn't thrilled about living on the mainland, and a shy Chinese-American tech nerd whose viral delivery app changed everything for the worse…and then maybe for the better.
