Shamrocks & Smoke Alarms: A Small Town Firefighter Romantic Comedy About Second Chances and Community Set on St. Patrick’s Day
Jessa Love
A kitchen fire. A struggling pizza shop. And the firefighter who might just save more than her business…
Marissa “Riss” Romano has poured her entire life into Moretti’s Pizza, the small-town shop her father built in Maplebridge, Washington. But when a packed St. Patrick’s Day rush ends with her ovens in flames, Riss fears she’s lost everything.
Enter firefighter Aidan Murphy—calm in a crisis, devastatingly charming, and suddenly determined to help her rebuild.
With the whole town rallying behind her beloved pizza shop, Riss fights to save her business while navigating unexpected viral fame, mounting financial pressure, and a growing attraction to the one man who keeps running toward danger.
But loving a firefighter means sharing him with emergencies, late-night calls, and a life that never follows a schedule.
As reopening day approaches, Riss must decide:
Can she trust someone enough to share the life she rebuilt from the ashes?
Or will fear of losing everything keep her heart locked away?
