The Fire Between Us by Zoey Rose

I ran from a monster only to fall for a hero with his own demons.

Cedar Falls was supposed to be just another stop on our endless escape route—another place to hide while I protect my one-year-old daughter from the abusive ex we fled in the night.

But when firefighter Max Davidson appears in my life, his broad shoulders filling doorways and his gentle hands offering help I never asked for, something inside me stirs to life again.

He’s a walking temptation: the carefree bachelor with watchful eyes, the hometown hero who once ran away himself, the strong rescuer who treats me like I’m not broken.

When he carries me from smoke and flames against direct orders, my body pressed against his powerful chest, I’m suddenly burning for an entirely different reason. But can I risk stoking this fire between us, or will surrendering to Max’s heat leave my already fragile heart in ashes?

The Fire Between Us 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 Cedar Falls: Fire Department series.
