Burning the Blue

In Cedar Ridge, Texas, firefighters and cops are supposed to work together.

Nobody said they had to like each other.

Firefighter-paramedic Addy Kate Ramsey is fearless, stubborn, and more than capable of handling herself. Police Sergeant Liam Reed is Stubborn tattooed, infuriatingly confident, and convinced that keeping people safe is his responsibility-even when nobody asked him to.

Put them in the same Public Safety Center, and sparks are inevitable.

For years, Liam and Addy Kate have turned arguing into an art form. They compete. They provoke each other. They know exactly which buttons to push-and neither of them is willing to admit that underneath all that irritation is an attraction becoming harder to ignore.

Then another man puts his hands on Addy Kate.

One bad decision. One bloody fist. One suspension.

And suddenly everything they've been pretending not to feel is impossible to deny.

A quiet ride home turns into Addy Kate cleaning Liam's injured hand in his living room. One look becomes a confession. One whispered tell me to stop changes everything.

But falling in love doesn't make their lives any safer.

Between warehouse fires, devastating wrecks, dangerous pursuits, long shifts, family chaos, and the reality of loving someone whose job requires them to run toward danger, Liam and Addy Kate discover that giving someone your heart can be more terrifying than any emergency call.

Because when the alarms sound, there are no guarantees.

And when the person you love disappears into the smoke, the only thing you can do is trust they'll come back.

He wears the blue.

She runs into the fire.

And somewhere between rivalry and desire, they become the one thing neither of them expected-home.

Burning the Blue is a steamy, action-packed first responder romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, a possessive police sergeant, a fearless firefighter-paramedic, jealousy, forced proximity, found family, high-stakes rescues, small-town chaos, and an emotional happily ever after.
