Kissing the Beach Town Fire Chief

A Sweet Friends to Lovers, Beach Romance

We built sandcastles as kids. Now I fight fires. But I don’t know if my heart can survive her flames.

Being Seabrook’s fire chief while running for mayor means I’m no stranger to crises.
But none of that prepares me for Ami walking back into my life.

She was the girl next door who used to drive me nuts with her stubborn sandcastle victories.
Now she’s the woman who unexpectedly stepped back into my life.

She’s brilliant, stubborn, and the spark I never knew I was missing.
And somewhere between old sandcastle battles and discovering town secrets, something shifts for us.

We almost say the words that terrify us.
Almost.

Now I see the kind of forever I didn’t think I could ever have.
But just like that … She leaves—back to the city, back to her career, back to everything that isn’t us.

Fires I can fight.
Votes, I can win.

But losing her is a wound I’m not sure I can survive.
