Diego runs Ember & Thyme behind the firehouse, feeding crews for free to honor his brother. Control is his armor; heat is his language.
Mason, a steady lieutenant with burn-scarred knuckles, loathes hero worship—and craves Diego’s habanero jam almost as much as the chef.
A warehouse blaze kills Diego’s next venue. The fundraiser moves to the station. A notorious critic RSVPs—and he’s Mason’s ex.
Banter turns solemn in the crush of service. They set rules like a recipe; candles, checks, and a safeword turn heat into trust.
One savage review could end Diego’s comeback and reopen Mason’s wounds. To win, they must feed a city louder than its gossip—and risk being seen, soft and burning, together.
