A Hollywood hunk turned hometown hero. A curvy bookworm who’s sworn off love. One small-town bachelor auction about to spark an inferno…I used to play a firefighter on TV. The money was good ... enough to put myself through school and earn the badge for real. But to the guys on my crew, I’ll always be “Hollywood.” Just a pretty face, not a real firefighter. And every woman in this town seems eager to test that theory. Except Catalina Dupont. The nerdy, curvy beauty who wins me at the Rough & Ready charity auction barely looks at me twice. She sees through the smiles and headlines, and the fact she isn’t impressed sets off more alarms than any fire ever has. She doesn’t want a fling. I’m not sure I know how to offer more. But one night with her might just rewrite the script and prove that the hottest fire I’ve ever faced is the one she lights in me. Steamy, small-town romance. HEA guaranteed. No third-act breakup—just one bid that changes everything. Bidding on the Cowboy Fireman is the first book in the Rough & Ready Firefighters series. Whether it’s a bachelor auction, a surprise elopement, enemies-to-lovers fireworks, or a fake relationship that feels too real, each book brings irresistible cowboys, fiery chemistry, and unforgettable romance.
