Their Blazing Spark
(2025)(The third book in the Rocky Ridge Firehouse: Second Alarm series)
A Story by Thea Shaw
He needed a babysitter. What he found was a fire he couldn't control.
As a single dad to twin daughters and the Deputy Chief of the Rocky Ridge Firehouse, my life is a carefully controlled burn. I have seventeen minutes between school pickup and council meetings, and zero room for error. My life is a house of cards, and I’m one breath away from it all collapsing.
When the seventh babysitter in four months quits—citing glitter in her cat’s food and toothpaste art as the final straw, I’m out of options. Late for pickup, I find my chaotic six-year-old "monsters" being charmed by their teacher’s assistant, Luna Castillo. She’s a whirlwind of sunshine and warmth, everything my cold, ordered life isn’t.
Desperate, I hire her on the spot for a temporary gig. But Luna doesn't just watch my kids. She brings music back into our silent house, builds pillow forts in my sterile living room, and makes my daughters laugh in a way they haven't since their mom died.
She’s healing my family, and with every glance, she’s dismantling the walls around my heart. I know I should keep my distance; my girls have already lost enough. She’s too young, too vibrant, and this arrangement is temporary.
But when my late wife’s parents appear, threatening to take my daughters and using my feelings for Luna as ammunition, our temporary arrangement becomes a high-stakes charade. She moves in to prove we're stable, forcing us to live together while hiding a passion that threatens to burn us all.
They think she’s my weakness. But they’re about to find out she’s the one spark I’ll risk everything to protect.
Their Blazing Spark is a steamy, small-town, single-dad and nanny romance. It is the third book in the Rocky Ridge Firehouse: Second Alarm series and can be read as a standalone. Get ready for a grumpy firefighter, a sunshine caregiver, adorable twins, a whole firehouse of found family, and a happily ever after guaranteed to melt your heart.
Genre: Romance
