Willow Creek, First Responder Series Book 4 When the Willow Creek County Morgue floods, county coroner Vaughn Shaw needs temporary refrigeration immediately. Unfortunately, the only suitable local space belongs to Tessa Quinn. Mortician. Funeral-home owner. Professional pain in his ass. Tessa reluctantly gives the county eight weeks in the unused lower wing of Quinn & Daughter Funeral Home-with one very clear condition: when day fifty-six arrives, Vaughn leaves. But Vaughn needs more than temporary space. With Riverbend Regional pushing to absorb Willow Creek's forensic services, he has to prove local care is worth saving before the county decides cheaper is better. That would be difficult enough without Tessa documenting every county inconvenience, vandalizing his labels, arguing with his procedures, and making him question several previously reliable standards of professional conduct. Their attraction is immediate. Their trust is not. And when bickering turns into kissing, kissing turns into an extremely poorly regulated benefits arrangement, and professional enemies become something dangerously close to partners, both discover that keeping their work separate from their hearts may be impossible. Especially when Vaughn makes one desperate decision that could cost him the woman he loves. Hold the Cold, Keep the Heat is a spicy small-town enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy packed with workplace warfare, forced proximity, filthy banter, funeral-home chaos, ridiculous townspeople, one opinionated hearse, one criminal goose, and two people learning that love requires more than knowing where everything belongs.

After a devastating crash into the ocean, Isla and former Coast Guard rescue swimmer Knox Wilder are the only survivors. They cling to debris, drift through the burning sea, and wash onto a deserted island with no food, no shelter, and no rescue in sight. Knox is all control, command, and buried guilt.

But when they are finally rescued after 183 days, the real world is waiting with cameras, questions, and doubts. Were they in love? Or just surviving? Isla knows the answer.
