Strength Thought the Flames

By Brian Vargas

In a world where fire isn't the only thing threatening to consume, Deputy Chiefs Ben and Mateo Diaz stand shoulder to shoulder, leading the Davis County Fire Department through the heat of crisis, the storms of family life, and the quiet battles of personal health.

After years of building one of the fastest-growing fire and EMS departments in the state, the Diaz's face their greatest challenge yet - not on the fireground, but at home. As Ben's health falters with undiagnosed seizures and mounting pressure, Mateo juggles leadership, fatherhood, and the heavy weight of love stretched thin.

Set against the backdrop of roaring flames, life-and-death rescues, and the raw intensity of public service, this novel is a powerful exploration of resilience, brotherhood, family, and the unbreakable bonds that hold a life together when everything is at risk.

Perfect for fans of firefighter fiction, LGBTQ+ romance, and emotionally rich family dramas, Strength Through the Flames will grab your heart, pull you into the firehouse, and remind you that sometimes the fiercest battles are fought in silence - and sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is ask for help.
