Flame

Samantha Rowe isn’t afraid of anything—even when she should be. From skydiving in the Andes to opening a martial arts studio in tiny Darling Bay to teach women self-defense, she’s fearless in everything she does.

Hank Coffee, more familiar with fire helmets than padded ones, steps up to help with her new business, even if it means taking a few kicks and punches to help women protect themselves. Safety is Hank's specialty, and he’s great at following protocol.

But when it comes to Samantha, Hank’s losing his heart and isn’t sure how to get it back. And Samantha is realizing that she’s terrified of one thing only: falling in love.

Another sweet and hilarious installment in the sizzling Firefighters of Darling Bay series by bestselling author (and ex-real life 911 fire dispatcher) Rachael Herron. With satisfying twists in this friends-to-lovers beach read, this small-town romance will make you laugh, cry, and long for a marina view—and a hot fireman—of your very own.

“Relationships are at the heart of women’s fiction, and Herron could teach a master class on creating them.”

—Chicklit Central

Level of fire protection needed: This romcom has delicious spice (you'll need a fan and a cold glass of water to douse yourself) but never fear, the spiciest scenes happen behind a closed door.
