Sometimes the most powerful fires don't start with flames. They start with a look.
When Adam rescues Scarlett during a wildfire evacuation, neither of them expects the kind of chemistry that sets off every alarm. She's a curvy, cautious woman still healing from a painful past. He's a rugged, protective firefighter with a quiet intensity and a body built to shield. What starts as a rescue turns into forced proximity, teasing glances, and heat that refuses to cool. Because passion doesn't wait for permission... and neither does love.

Scarlett
He showed up at my door with a fire at his back and heat in his eyes -- and I haven't been able to breathe the same since.
Adam's not just a firefighter. He's a force. Tall, rough, and too intense for a woman like me. But when he looked at me like I was something worth protecting... I started to wonder what it would feel like to let someone truly see me. Touch me. Burn for me.

Adam
I was sent to evacuate her. Instead, I found the one woman I never want to walk away from.
Scarlett's quiet and guarded, but one look and I knew -- she was mine. I saw the flicker in her eyes, the curve of her mouth, and every damn instinct in me lit up. I'll protect her, fight for her, and if she lets me close... I'll ruin her for any other man.

Scarlett and Adam's story is a full-length standalone, but if you felt the heat between them, just wait until you meet the rest of Aspenbrook's finest. The Aspenbrook Protective Firefighters series brings you smoldering alpha heroes, late-night rescues that turn into slow-burn love stories, and the kind of emotional intimacy that lingers long after the last page. These men fight fire with grit and heart, and when they fall, they fall hard. Welcome to Aspenbrook, where love always burns a little hotter.
