Talk about making a bad first impression. The rookie at Waterford’s fire station literally hauled me out of my own home—over his shoulder. Was my kitchen on fire? Yes. Did I have it nearly contained? Also yes. And now he’s been tasked with making up for his overzealous rescue attempts by showing up to my bakery to grovel daily. And beg for my donuts. Don’t get me wrong, the man is built like a redwood, has the personality of a golden retriever and eyes you could get lost in for days. But I’m not dating. Not after my last serious boyfriend left town without looking back. I’m devoted to three my hometown, my bakery, and my friends. That is until an opportunity to enter a baking contest catches my eye. And I need a partner. Enter the rookie. Yes, the same one who easily lifted me and slung me over his shoulder. My best friend and business partner, bless her heart, suggests we fake a relationship—just for the sake of the contest. It seems like a simple fix. Don’t worry. It’s not like I’m going to fall for him. I’m immune to his charms. Mostly. Fire and Icing is a sweet, closed-door romcom with kisses that might require a fire extinguisher. This stand-alone story is the first in the series The Firemen of Waterford TN.

If you saw Cody Buckner on a horse, you’d understand my obsession with him. I’ve spent most of my life pretending I don’t have a thing for the rancher next door. He’s my brother’s best friend. My best friend’s brother. And now—because fate clearly hates me—he’s the firefighter I have to work alongside as Waterford’s newest fire inspector. Cody Buckner is steady where I’m stubborn, calm where I’m chaos, and way too good at showing up when I’m trying to keep my distance. Especially now, with my family ranch hanging by a thread. Around here, everyone's got a front-row seat to everyone else’s business, and gossip travels faster than a brush fire. One look, one slip, and the whole town would know exactly how I feel about Cody. But every time those brown eyes find mine, my whole list of reasons why we can’t be together just ... goes up in smoke. Smoke and Ash is the third standalone romcom in the Firemen of Waterford TN series. This story is a closed-door romance with kisses that just might need a fire extinguisher.
