Firemen of Waterford, TN

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 things: 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 standalone story is the first in the series The Firemen of Waterford, TN.

My nemesis is about to ruin my life. Is Patrick O'Connell gorgeous? Unfortunately, yes. Jet-black hair, smoldering eyes, and those muscles I accidentally saw when my friends dragged me to spy on the fireman calendar photo shoot. Is Patrick O'Connell also the bane of my existence? Absolutely. He wrecked my dream years ago, and I'll never forget what he-and his family-took from me. Now the O'Connells want to dump a big-box store right next to my cozy bookshop. Over my dead body. Thankfully, I have a distraction: the anonymous podcast host of Burning Through the Pages. His voice is pure comfort-like a warm blanket by a crackling fire. He's clever, kind, and funny. With each late-night message, I want more. So much more that I'm almost tempted to ask him to meet face-to-face. The future of my bookshop is uncertain-but the fate of my heart feels even more fragile. Book and Ladder is a sweet, closed-door, hidden-identity, enemies-to-lovers romcom-a slow burn with kisses hot enough to need a fire extinguisher. A standalone in The Firemen of Waterford, TN series.

If you saw Cody Lawson 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 Lawson 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.

He's handsome and broody-the kind of quiet that makes you wonder what's going on under the surface. I'm the new rookie at the station-and the only woman firefighter in the history of Waterford Fire. Translation: every move I make is being measured, and quietly evaluated. No pressure. Not to mention the pranks these guys pull. The only thing on my mind besides proving myself at work is a daughter who thinks baseball is a personality trait. Oh! And, my mom just decided she's moving in with us. Romance is not on the schedule. Neither are complications. Am I distracted by Greyson's quiet competence or the way he shows up when it matters? Nope. I'm definitely not intrigued by the hints of softness beneath that military-grade self-control. And I am absolutely not interested in a man who keeps his past locked up tighter than a firehouse locker. I have enough mysteries in my life. I don't need one with broad shoulders, a turnout coat, and perceptive eyes that seem to look straight into my soul. We both have baggage. Mine comes with a lunchbox and a bedtime routine. But I've got a plan: keep my head down, do my job, protect my heart. Check, check and… well, two out of three's not bad. Frost and Flame is the fourth 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.
