BURN: Where Duty and Desire Ignite
Piper Stone
Captain Elias “Eli” Thorne lives by control. As leader of the elite Redwood Creek Hotshots, he throws himself into battling wildfires, the discipline a shield against the ghosts of a past tragedy he can’t outrun. His rule is keep everyone safe, keep emotions locked down. Walls built of ash and duty protect him, until he arrives.
Mateo Silva is a spark Eli didn’t anticipate. The skilled rookie is observant, determined, and carrying shadows of his own. He sees past the Captain’s icy exterior, challenging Eli’s rigid control and igniting a dangerous awareness that threatens to burn through every carefully constructed defense.
As inescapable proximity forces them together on the fire line, an undeniable heat builds between them. But Mateo holds secrets that look like betrayal, and Eli’s past trauma twists suspicion into harsh accusations. Trust burns away, leaving only a cold divide, even as the danger mounts.
Then, the inferno traps them. Cut off, surrounded by flames, survival depends on the very connection they shattered. In the suffocating heat of a desperate refuge, buried truths and burning desires are exposed, leaving them irrevocably changed.
They survived the blaze, but as the smoke clears, they face an even more dangerous reality. Can a love forged in fire withstand the rules, the risks, and the ghosts that remain? Or will the dawn after the burn scorch everything they’ve found?
Scroll up and one-click now to discover a story of high-stakes action, forbidden desire, and the fight for trust in the heart of the flames!
