Playing with Fire: A spicy small town, firefighter romance novel by Callie Embers
Enemies-to-lovers has never been this explosive.

Get ready for the safety inspector who's about to discover that sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't breaking the rules—it's falling for the man who does.

Riley Bennett has built her reputation on being untouchable, unshakeable, and utterly professional. The "Ice Queen" of safety inspections doesn't do messy, doesn't do reckless, and definitely doesn't do brooding construction foremen with attitudes bigger than their tool belts.

Kane's here to renovate Station 9, not clash with the uptight inspector who thinks his every decision is "a lawsuit waiting to happen." But there's something about the way Riley stands her ground that has his pulse racing—and his temper flaring.

She's all checklists and regulations. He's all raw instinct and calculated risks.

She thinks he's dangerous, unpredictable, and absolutely infuriating.

He thinks she's cold, controlling, and completely irresistible.

When their professional battles turn into after-hours passion and Kane's devastating past threatens to destroy everything they've built, they'll have to is love worth breaking all the safety protocols?
