Kiss Me Chief
(2026)(The second book in the Thunder Valley Fire and Rescue series)
A novel by Callie Embers
Five years ago, she left.
Now she’s back—and the man she loved never forgot.
Lexi Stewart didn’t come back to Thunder Valley for him.
She came back for work. For closure. For anything except the fire chief who still knows exactly how to unravel her.
Brady Mills is the man everyone relies on. Steady. Controlled. Unbreakable.
He’s built a life around duty, loyalty, and protecting everyone but himself. And the last person he ever expected to see again is the woman who walked away.
Being in the same town means being nearby, unable to avoid each other.
A pull neither of them wants… and neither of them can deny.
