Ignite - the spark {book one}

She built walls to survive. He walked through fire to see behind them.

Maeve O'Donoghue doesn't do emotional entanglements. Not anymore. Sharp, capable, and fiercely loyal to her crew, she keeps her heart locked away behind professionalism and sarcasm. It's safer that way.

Enter Lieutenant Nathan Quinn. Calm, steady, and haunted by his own past. When he and three other firefighters transfer to Station 20, Maeve doesn't plan to care. She certainly doesn't plan to fall.

But hearts don't follow rules.

Between emergency calls, late-night shifts, and cinnamon-roll-fueled banter in the lounge, bonds start to form, and lines start to blur. Nathan falls first. Maeve falls harder. And when buried grief rises to the surface, both have to decide if they're willing to face what hurts in order to find what heals.

Fire, friendship, and slow-burn love collide in a story of resilience, redemption, and the kind of loyalty that never stops showing up
