A one-night stand. A sexy firefighter. And a surprise that changes everything. Grace Foster, a feisty accountant with a streak of dating disasters, has no intention of finding love as the maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding. But one reckless night flips her world upside down. Paired with the infuriatingly handsome best man, Kane Barrett, she’s prepared for battle—not romance. Kane, a firefighter and arson investigator, is a hometown hero and Hibiscus Harbor’s most eligible bachelor. Settling down isn’t in his plans. But being forced to work alongside Grace—the woman who challenges him like no other—throws his carefully guarded world into chaos. Their fiery clashes take a backseat when a sinister arsonist begins targeting their idyllic town. As danger draws closer and tensions rise, Kane proves he’ll risk it all to protect Grace. And when shocking revelations come to light, they must confront not only the threat to Hibiscus Harbor but the undeniable heat between them. Sizzling Desire is a pulse-pounding romantic suspense that will leave you breathless. With small-town charm, nail-biting danger, and a love that burns bright, this enemies-to-lovers firefighter romance is perfect for fans of sizzling chemistry and high-stakes drama.
