Flashover

She’s immune to his charm. The dog likes her better. And fire season lasts all summer.
Grady Sullivan has spent thirteen seasons running toward fire because the alternative — sitting still — means hearing the memory he can’t outrun. When his wildland crew stages at a small-town firehouse in Copper Ridge, Montana, he’s expecting smoke, sweat, and a town he’ll forget by October.

He’s not expecting Sloane Hartley.
She’s the traveling vet covering the local practice for the summer. She’s calm, competent, and completely unimpressed by his grin, his arms, and his professionally calibrated charm. She treats the stray dog his crew pulled from a fire with more warmth than she’s shown him in a week. The dog — which nobody can agree on a name for — has already chosen her. Grady’s starting to understand why.

Sloane doesn’t stay. Staying means building. Building means losing. She buried a brother who walked into fire for a living, and she swore she’d never love someone in that line of work again. But Grady Sullivan keeps showing up at her clinic with that dog and his terrible coffee and his inability to be anything other than honest, and her rule about leaving is starting to sound less like wisdom and more like fear.

He’s temporary. She’s temporary. The dog doesn’t care. Copper Ridge doesn’t care. The only people invested in their exit strategies are the two people falling for each other.

Flashover is a scorching he-falls-first firefighter romcom with a heroine who won’t be charmed, a hero who can’t stop trying, a stray dog with strong editorial opinions, and a firehouse crew running a betting pool on the whole thing. Book 3 in the Copper Ridge Firefighters series. Each book features a new couple and can be read as a standalone. HEA guaranteed.
