SLOW IGNITE: A STEAMY SMALL TOWN FIREFIGHTER AGE GAP ROMANCE (THE MEN OF LADDER #39)

Welcome to book three of The Men of Ladder 39 series!


The plan was simple—survive. Keep my head down, stay out of trouble, and never get too close to anyone. Feelings? Not in the budget. But then Marco walks into my life with his steady hands, warm eyes, and that quiet confidence that makes it hard to breathe. I’m not used to safety. I’m not used to wanting someone to stay.

And now… I’m not sure I want him to go.


From the moment I saw her, I knew she wasn’t like anyone else. Strong, smart-mouthed, and hiding behind walls so high I should’ve walked away. But I’m not wired like that. I see fire—I walk straight into it. Shelby’s running from something, maybe everything. But I’m not here to save her.

I’m here because somehow, she’s already saved me.

🔥 Broody firefighter
