Seasoned Firefighter x Fem POV who looks like the person he failed to save

He cannot save everyone,

He knows this well,

But if he could save someone's life,

It would be hers.

In a cozy San Antonio coffee shop, Elias "Eli" Rook, finds himself unexpectedly face-to-face with someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to a college girl he tragically failed to save years ago during a devastating fire. The sight of you, with your familiar features, triggers a wave of shock and a painful surge of memories for Eli.

Despite the haunting echo of his past failure, a new, undeniable attraction begins to stir within him. He grapples with conflicting emotions—the desire to protect you, a deep-seated need to atone for his past, and the unexpected pull of a connection he never anticipated. The accidental meeting sets the stage for a slow unfolding of emotions as Eli navigates his ingrained protective instincts and the unsettling familiarity of a face he thought he'd only see in his nightmares.
