Claimed By The Fire Chief
(2025)(The second book in the Autumn Heat In Cedar Falls series)
A novel by Maya McKenna
When the town’s fire chief shows up for an inspection, she doesn’t expect him to reignite an old flame…
After a messy divorce, Lila Morgan is back in Cedar Falls, knee-deep in corn silk and tangled extension cords as she helps her brother prepare the family’s haunted maze. The last thing she needs is Sawyer Grant—her brother’s best friend, first crush, and the man she’s spent a decade trying to forget—walking back into her life in full fire chief uniform.
Sawyer has three priorities: protect his town, protect his crew, and never touch the one woman he’s wanted for ten years. But the moment he finds Lila alone in the maze, stubborn and gorgeous as ever, all those promises go up in smoke. One kiss turns into another, and soon he’s ready to break every rule to prove she belongs here—with him.
But Lila’s only home until Halloween, and starting something with Sawyer risks not just her heart, but his oldest friendship. In a small town where gossip travels faster than wildfire, they’ll have to decide if their spark is just a seasonal blaze… or a forever kind of fire.
Tropes: Brother’s best friend, small town romance, second chance crush, protective hero, grumpy/sunshine, possessive hero, heroine returning home, forced proximity, slow burn to steamy, HEA.
Genre: Romance
