The Fire Chief's Flame
(2025)(The third book in the Rocky Ridge Mountain Men series)
A Story by Thea Shaw
My job is to put out fires. But the one she starts in my soul is a blaze I can’t control.
As the fire chief of Rocky Ridge, I live by one code: control. I keep this town safe because I will never repeat the mistakes that cost me everything. Then Isabella ‘Izzy’ Rodriguez waltzes into town, a fiery baker who is all passion, chaos, and sweet, reckless temptation. She’s a walking fire hazard, and the arguments between us burn hotter than her oven.
But when a deadly blizzard hits, I find her half-frozen and trapped in her bakery. Rescuing her is my duty. Bringing her to the fire station is protocol. When the power fails and we’re left with only one source of heat, there’s only one place for her to be: my bed.
Trapped together, our defenses crumble. I confess the survivor’s guilt that haunts my every move. She reveals she’s a runaway bride on the run from a controlling family, an innocent virgin who has never been truly touched. Suddenly, my duty to protect her becomes a possessive need to claim her as mine.
Just as she begins to trust me, her past comes knocking, threatening to drag her back to a life she escaped. Her family thinks they can break her. They don’t know she’s guarded by a fire chief who is ready to burn the whole world down to keep her safe.
The Fire Chief’s Flame is a steamy romance in the Rocky Ridge Rescuers series but can be read as a standalone. If you love a tortured, protective alpha hero, a fiery runaway heroine, and the story of two souls finding healing in a snowstorm, you’ll be captivated by this filthy-sweet tale. Packed with forced proximity, only-one-bed, and a guaranteed HEA with no cheating!
