Bonfire with Beckett

The grumpy fire marshal said “no” to my bonfire… so why is he determined to make me burn?

When I move back to Maple Ridge to look after my dad, I have one goal: bring back the bonfire that used to close out the town’s annual fall festival.
It’s a no-brainer. Romantic. Steeped in tradition. It’s where my parents met and fell in love.
So imagine my shock when the local fire marshal stands up at the town meeting and says a very firm, very public “no.” Rude.
Worse? My new nemesis is tall, burly, broody… and so dang sexy it’s almost impossible to hate him. Even as he lectures me about a “fire ban” thanks to drought conditions, all I can think about is how it would feel to have those strong arms wrapped around me.
With the whole town rallying behind me, Beckett reluctantly gives my plan a tentative “yes.” His conditions? He’ll make the final call day-of based on the weather—and he’s going to be involved in every single step.
Now we’re spending way too much time together, trading barbs and glances that feel increasingly like foreplay. And if this is foreplay, the man who said no to my bonfire might set my whole world on fire. Weather permitting.
