Burning for the Fire Chief (Heroes of Whispering Pines #5)

My fresh start went up in flames. Now I’m burning for the Fire Chief who saved me.

Kaia Whispering Pines was supposed to be my second chance: an old house, a new job, and a life far away from the family who never made me feel like enough.

Then smoke fills my bedroom, and Zain Carson breaks down my door. He’s older, scarred, tattooed, and built like every secret fantasy I’ve ever had.

The grumpy fire chief next door I’ve wanted since the day I moved in. Now I’m in his home, wearing his clothes, and trying not to melt every time his rough hands brush my skin.

Zain I knew better than to want Kaia Evans.

She’s soft, curvy, sunshine-bright, and too innocent for a man who left the military with scars he doesn’t talk about and a heart he’s kept locked away for years.

Then I see smoke pouring from her windows, and staying away is no longer an option.

I carry her out of the flames and into my house, where protecting her turns into touching her, and wanting her turns into obsession. Kaia thinks she has nowhere else to go.

She doesn’t know I’ve already decided exactly where she belongs.

This steamy small-town instalove romance features a curvy virgin heroine and a possessive, scarred fire chief.

Tropes: Age gap Forced proximity Grumpy/sunshine Protective hero Wounded hero No cheating HEA guaranteed
