Protective Firefighter
(2026)(The fourth book in the Copper Creek Firehouse series)
A Story by Lexi Rose
Ace
I'm the one who runs toward the fire. Not the one anybody runs toward.
Off a 24-hour shift, eating across the street, I clocked a man in a too-heavy coat watching the jewelry shop wrong.
So I crossed.
I walked into a stick-up and told him he could still leave.
He didn't. The shot put me on a floor I'd never set foot on.
And there she was.
Jolene.
Curvy, steady, both hands on my side like she'd fight the world before she let me go.
She built that shop alone. The last man called her work a cute little hobby and walked, so she braces to lose it.
Not me.
Oldest of four, I've carried the heavy end since I was fourteen and never let anyone carry me.
Then she brought dinner to my door, hunted my kitchen for a spoon to feed me, and something I keep bolted down came loose.
She doesn't need rescuing. She needs a man who stays.
She's mine now. And I'm not going anywhere.
I've spent my life carrying everyone. She's the first person who tried to carry me.
Protective Firefighter is a short, sweet, and steamy small-town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Copper Creek Firehouse series.
