The Firefighter's Unexpected Flame

A Small Town, Single Dad Romance

When my gorgeous new neighbor moves in, she doesn’t just catch my eye—she sparks a wildfire of desire.

I’m Nick, a single dad and firefighter who lives for adrenaline and danger. Women have come and gone, but none have ever lit up my world like Hanna. She’s smart, bold, and irresistibly sassy, with a fiery energy that matches my own. From the moment I meet her, I know she’s trouble—the kind I can’t stay away from.

When I hire her as my daughter’s nanny, I convince myself I can keep things professional. But watching Hanna and my little girl bond, laughing and playing like they’ve known each other forever, makes my walls crumble. Her warmth, her smile, the way she lights up every room... it’s impossible to resist.

My job is to fight fires, but I can’t extinguish the flames that burn inside me every time I think of Hanna. And making love to her; it’s hotter than any fire on earth.

The heat between us is undeniable, but my high-stakes job and her big-city dreams threaten to pull us apart. She says she can’t handle the risks I take. But the biggest risk I’ve ever faced isn’t in the line of duty—it’s falling for her.

Now, Hanna’s got a shot at her dream job in Manhattan, and I’m left wondering if love is enough to make her stay. Or will she choose a future that doesn’t include me?

This steamy, feel-good love story is packed with passion, heart, and a swoon-worthy firefighter who will stop at nothing to win your heart. It is a small-town, close proximity, friends-to-lovers, contemporary romance standalone story. There is no cheating or cliffhanger, but does deliver lots of sparks and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
