Fight – Sloane St. James (2025)

He’s a hotshot firefighter who lost everything. She’s a risk he can’t afford to take. One spark and their rules go up in smoke. Fighting wildfires is the only thing he has ever wanted to do, and he is very good at it. As captain of an inter-agency hotshot crew of wildland firefighters, he knows the work is high risk and high reward. The risk blindsided him five years ago when he lost one of his crew and his life changed forever. Now the only rewards he allows himself are working harder and smarter, and enjoying easy, sexy nights with strangers. Then he meets Prescott Timmons. Her sharp tongue and adventurous spirit make him forget all his rules, until her past resurfaces and her lies begin to feel familiar. He vows never to give her a second glance, but when she finds herself in a life-or-death situation with nature, his instincts take over. Stranded together and forced to share a bed once again, they must face the truth. Will they let the fire burn out, or fight for it? This romance features a firefighter hero, angst, a small-town setting, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, one-bed tension, workplace romance, miscommunication, being snowed in and a new girl in town. It is the first book in the Sky Ridge Hotshots series, in which a wildland firefighter becomes involved with a secretive EMT.
