"Sometimes the fire isn't in the flames-but in the way he looks at you" When Ava Harper's beloved bakery nearly burns to the ground, she never expects to find more than ashes and loss-until Lieutenant Maddox Reid and his fire crew step in to save more than just her shop. Tall, rugged, and impossibly magnetic, Maddox carries the weight of past rescues and a guarded heart. But Ava's fiery spirit and sweet resilience ignite something deep within him-something he thought he'd lost forever. As their worlds collide in the heat of the city's flames and the cool quiet of late-night fire stations, a slow-burning passion simmers beneath the surface. Between stolen kisses in empty halls, secret rendezvous in the fire engine bay, and tender moments in Ava's flour-dusted bakery, their connection grows undeniable. But shadows from Ava's past threaten to consume their fragile flame. To save what's burning between them, they'll have to trust each other completely-and learn that sometimes, the fiercest fires forge the strongest love.
