Burning for the Silver Fox: An Age Gap Single Mom Romance

The arrogant firefighter next door thinks I need saving.
Big muscles. Dirty smirk.
He’s everything I swore I’d never want.
And exactly what my body craves.

Charlie Vernon is used to barking orders.
I’m a single mom who doesn’t take them.
He’s older. Bossier. Infuriatingly hot.
And way too good at getting under my skin.

Living this close?
It’s pure tension—every look, every argument, every accidental touch.
He offers help I don’t want.
I push back harder… until I don’t.

Because when danger hits too close,
And the man I thought I left behind comes back,
Charlie’s the one who steps in.
Fierce. Protective. Unshakable.

But if I let him past my walls,
If I fall too hard—
Loving him might burn me alive.
