Heat Rising: A Quick Reads Spicy Romance

Heat A Pine Ridge Firefighters Novel I never meant to fake date a firefighter... but some risks are worth taking.

When librarian Ava Timmons proposes a fake relationship to stop her controlling ex from harassing her, the last person she expects to agree is Pine Ridge's most intense rescue specialist, Andrew "Drew" Taylor. Quiet, tattooed, and carrying more emotional scars than most people have stories, Drew is decidedly not her type.

But desperate times call for desperate measures—and one strategically staged kiss might just send her ex running.

What starts as a calculated performance soon blazes into something neither of them expected. Between dodging her father's suspicious glances, deflecting her ex's increasingly dangerous attention, and managing Drew's complex PTSD, their fake relationship starts feeling dangerously real.

As the lines between pretense and passion blur, Ava and Drew will have to stick to their original plan, or risk everything on a love hot enough to melt even the most carefully constructed walls.

The firefighters of Pine Ridge are ready to meet the curvy, complicated loves of their lives. These quick, heart-racing romances promise protection, passion, and a happily ever after guaranteed to set your heart on fire.
