They say the coldest hearts burn the hottest, but no one warned me that falling for Pine Valley's grumpiest firefighter would set my world ablaze. As the fire station's dispatcher and the chief's daughter, I've spent years watching Kane Matthews from afar—his brooding presence, his silent strength, the way he carries war wounds no one can see. He's twice my age, haunted by his past, and has walls higher than our station's tower. When I gather the courage to ask him to the Christmas charity ball, one dance is all I ask for. But one touch from him ignites a flame neither of us can extinguish. Can I convince this gruff firefighter that sometimes the most beautiful things rise from the ashes of our past? Or will his demons extinguish our chance at happiness before it truly begins? Curvy Girl and the Grumpy Firefighter is a short, sweet, and steamy small town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Pine Fire Department
