A Wildland Firefighter Romance
Braylin Whitney didn’t claw her way into wildland firefighting to be sidelined by a reckless hotshot with a cocky grin—and Noah “Blaze” Layne is exactly the kind of man she doesn’t trust. He’s arrogant, rule-breaking, and far too interested in pushing her buttons. Forced to work together after a high-risk rescue, their clashing styles ignite instant friction… and undeniable attraction. Braylin refuses to give in. Blaze refuses to back off. Every argument crackles with heat, every look dares the other to jump the line. When a routine training day goes disastrously wrong, leaving them stranded with flames closing in, survival demands more than teamwork—it demands trust. And in the heat of danger, the tension they’ve been fighting sparks into something neither of them can deny. As the fire rages, so does the chemistry. And Braylin must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart for a man who could change everything.
