Quit Playing Flames with My Heart
(2026)(A book in the Deepwood Mountain: Rugged Montana Firefighters series)
A novel by Lexi Hayes
I don’t do relationships.
I do fires, bench presses, and one-night stands.
Volunteering to read to a bunch of kids at the Deepwood Mountain Library was supposed to score me good PR in town, brownie points with the Captain, and maybe a single mom or two.
Instead, I meet Beth Mahoney—a shy, sweet as sin elementary school teacher, who despite that blush when I smile at her, is truly unimpressed by my charm. And she tells me so.
Rude.
I’m not used to women who don’t chase me or fall into my arms after a single wink. She makes me work for her attention and her trust.
And somehow, I’m the one falling—hard, fast, and face-first into these unfamiliar feelings.
Then one mistake threatens to destroy every intense and achingly hot thing we’re building.
But when a wildfire puts Beth and a child in danger, I’ll prove exactly what kind of man I am.
I’m a firefighter.
I run toward the flames.
And I’m ready to burn for her…forever.
Quit Playing Flames with My Heart is a short, steamy, instalove romance featuring a cocky firefighter and the shy, small-town teacher who steals his heart. Expect fast feelings, filthy tension, high first-time heat, and an HEA to swoon over.
