Some fires burn hotter than coal.
In the belly of the RMS Titanic, where heat and soot reign beneath gilded ballrooms and crystal chandeliers, fireman Will Kearney shovels coal into the ship's hungry furnaces-each stroke a rhythm that drowns the ghosts of his past. Above him, Jamie Holloway, a bright-eyed second-class steward, balances teacups and quiet dreams, hiding his own truths behind perfect linen folds and practiced smiles.
When a chance encounter in the shadowy corridors behind the Turkish baths sparks something neither man expects, they begin a secret dance of glances, quiet meetings, and growing desire. But aboard a ship bound by rules, class, and silence, even a shared breath can be dangerous.
As the Titanic steams toward her fated night, Will and Jamie must decide whether to stay hidden in the shadows-or risk everything for a fleeting chance at love, in a world on the brink of disaster.
Titanic Fires is a tender, slow-burn historical romance about forbidden desire, quiet courage, and finding light in the unlikeliest of places-deep below deck, where two hearts learn to burn together.
