Firefighters and False Alarms: A Grumpy x Sunshine, He Falls First, Firefighter, Instalove Romance (Firefighters of Blush Creek Book 1)

She keeps setting off alarms. He keeps showing up. Neither of them expected the real fire to be between them.

Fire Chief Hank Carter runs a tight ship in Blush Creek. He likes things orderly, predictable, and preferably not on fire. Which is why the new bakery owner down the street is quickly becoming the biggest headache of his career. It seems like every morning, the alarm goes off at Sweet Surrender Bakery, and every morning Hank storms in expecting flames—only to find Maisie Bloom, a chaotic whirlwind of flour, sugar, and overcooked pastries.

Maisie didn’t move to Blush Creek to cause trouble. She came for a fresh start and one last chance to make her dream bakery succeed. Unfortunately, the ancient ovens seem determined to sabotage her—and the town’s grumpy fire chief seems equally determined to blame her for every puff of smoke. But beneath the arguments and sarcastic teasing, the sparks between them are getting harder to ignore.

When a real fire threatens Maisie’s bakery, Hank realizes protecting the stubborn baker has become more than just part of the job. And Maisie discovers the man behind the fire chief’s scowl might be exactly the kind of temptation she never saw coming. In a town where gossip spreads faster than smoke, resisting each other might be the one thing they can’t do.
