Hometown Heat Series by Lili Valente

I’m the station’s youngest fire chief, a grown man, and fully in my right mind—which means I’m not going to fall for the One Who Got Away. That’s not the kind of person I am. Second chances are like skipping leg day—I don’t do that. Ever. But I wasn’t counting on Naomi buying me at the firefighter charity auction... moreI’m the station’s youngest fire chief, a grown man, and fully in my right mind—which means I’m not going to fall for the One Who Got Away. That’s not the kind of person I am. Second chances are like skipping leg day—I don’t do that. Ever. But I wasn’t counting on Naomi buying me at the firefighter charity auction. Now I’m forced into a month of dates with the one woman who cuts through my defenses like no one else, and I’m starting to think maybe she’s right…maybe we are different people than the teenagers who failed at love. Maybe this isn’t a fire I have to put out. Maybe for the first time in my life I can relax and just…let it burn. Or maybe we’re both about to learn that fire isn’t something you should underestimate—especially the kind that burns between a man and a woman. The complete Hometown Heroes series releases this summer! All Fired Up. Catching Fire. Playing with Fire. *All Fired Up was previously published as Last of the Red Hot Firefighters by Jessie Evans. It has been rewritten in first person and heavily revised for this new edition. *. less

Then I meet the world’s funniest, sexiest lady firefighter and all my “staying single” plans go up in smoke. The problem? Faith’s even more gun shy when it comes to love than I am. But I have a plan. First, I’ll prove to Faith that she can trust me with her heart. Next, I’ll keep showing up until she believes it... moreLove is overrated and I have the third-degree relationship burns to prove it, courtesy of my ex. I’m done with romance.

Thou shalt not bang your best friend. That commandment would be a lot easier if Maddie wasn’t the sexiest siren ever to wade into a tide pool. Or if I was good at resisting temptation. I’m the troublemaker, the firefighter who enjoys getting a little too close to the flames. And the trouble is double, since Maddie’s sister is about to marry my brother. That makes a tryst even riskier... moreThou shalt not bang your best friend. That commandment would be a lot easier if Maddie wasn’t the sexiest siren ever to wade into a tide pool. Or if I was good at resisting temptation. I’m the troublemaker, the firefighter who enjoys getting a little too close to the flames. And the trouble is double, since Maddie’s sister is about to marry my brother. That makes a tryst even riskier. But it’s cool—we’ll keep our bang-a-palooza a secret from our siblings and keep things casual, so no one gets hurt. The problem? Nothing about this thing with Maddie feels casual. From the electricity between us to the way my heart flips when she smiles—everything I feel for her is intense. But can we handle the heat when my past—and hers—suddenly come back to haunt us…. *Playing with Fire was previously published as The Bad Boy Firefighter's Secret Fling by Jessie Evans.
