Worth the Burn: A Small Town, Enemies-to-Lovers, Single-Dad Romance
Ruby Rollins
Tessa isn’t looking for trouble.
Mason wasn’t supposed to matter.
And falling for a hot, single-dad firefighter was never part of the plan.
Tessa is rebuilding her life—carefully, intentionally, and on her own terms.
The last thing she needs is a complicated man with a guarded heart and a life that’s already full.
Then Mason happens.
He’s steady.
Protective.
And far too easy to fall for.
A firefighter devoted to his daughter and a man who shows up in ways that make walking away feel impossible.
Especially when his kid is adorable.
And their neighbor, Greta—warm, observant, quietly determined, the kind of woman who means well and never misses a thing—keeps nudging Tessa deeper into their world.
What starts as easy chemistry turns into something real.
Something that feels a lot like belonging.
But getting close to Mason means risking more than her heart.
It means stepping into a family she never planned on—and deciding if she’s brave enough to stay.
Because some fires are safer to avoid…
And some will burn her in all the right ways.
