Maxine Rivers doesn't do quiet. Lead singer, guitarist, and the only female in her band, she and her guys-Erik on drums, Zay on bass-are blasting the kind of music that rattles walls and shakes ceilings. Luxury Austin apartment or not, tonight they're unstoppable.
Carter Hayes, firefighter, country boy, kind-hearted and steady... is not ready for this. The bass vibrates through his floors, the drums echo in his chest, and when he stomps up the stairs to confront them, he doesn't expect the sight waiting at the top.
Maxine-hair wild, guitar in hand, lips curved in that reckless smirk-stops mid-chorus just long enough to lock eyes with him. And suddenly, the noise isn't all that loud. Something sparks between them: electric, infuriating, undeniable.
What starts as an argument over decibels turns into teasing, laughter, and a pull neither of them can resist. Between the chaos of Maxine's music and the steady heat of Carter's presence, late nights take on a dangerous rhythm... and both of them know this isn't just about noise anymore.
Some collisions leave scars. Some leave sparks. And some... leave a fire that burns hotter than the city itself.

Willow Creek, First Responders Series Book 2 Willow Creek loves three things: community festivals, gossip, and watching Fire Captain Kai Hart and EMT Violet Sinclair try (and fail) not to flirt. They're rivals with matching egos, professional respect, and a standing bet that turns every training into foreplay and every prank into a declaration of war. One disastrous "Station Games" tie, one trophy room door, and one grainy video later, the rumor mill crowns a new champion. Now the town wants answers, Kai wants Violet out of his head and into his bed (again), and Violet wants to keep her career intact while pretending the firefighter who drives her insane isn't also the safest place she's ever landed. From water-balloon wars to accidental sexts, from shower steam to ladder-truck shadows, their not-a-relationship keeps igniting-until a call goes sideways and the sirens won't drown out how much they matter. He says he's not jealous. She says it was just stress relief. Willow Creek says: pull up a chair. Enemies to lovers, first responders, filthy banter, found family, and a town that never misses a beat. Fully Involved is a laugh-out-loud, scorch-the-pages rom-com featuring a mouthy medic, a bossy fire captain, inappropriate wagers, locker-room meddling, and enough heat to melt turnout gear.Complete

Hearts on fire: Taylor Swift x OC intersex firefighter
When music's biggest star crosses paths with New York's bravest, sparks fly onstage, on-scene, and behind the headlines. Taylor Swift is used to life under the spotlight world tours, award shows, flashing cameras, and never a moment to herself. But one quiet night in her New York home is shattered by the smell of smoke, a building fire across the street, and a face she can't forget. Sam Parker is a firefighter steady, grounded, and fiercely dedicated to saving lives. She's the kind of person who runs into burning buildings without hesitation... and walks away without needing recognition. When Taylor sees her in action for the first time, helmet in hand and soot on her face, she's struck by more than just gratitude she's captivated. Sam doesn't recognize Taylor. And Taylor can't stop thinking about her. Weeks later, fate brings them together again at a city fundraiser. Taylor's supposed to smile for the cameras and shake hands with donors, but her eyes keep drifting to the firefighter with the quiet strength and disarming honesty. This time, Taylor makes her move inviting Sam for a coffee that turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and an undeniable connection. But falling in love is never simple especially when one of you lives in anonymity and the other can't even cross the street without paparazzi. As their bond deepens, Taylor and Sam must navigate the complexities of fame, fear, and the worlds they each carry: red carpets and fire calls, private dinners and explosive headlines. The world watches as Sam steps reluctantly into the spotlight, by Taylor's side on tour and at premieres until an accident on the job threatens everything. With Sam in the hospital and Taylor under a microscope, their relationship is pushed to its limits. In a love story built on two very different kinds of bravery, Taylor and Sam will have to decide what they're willing to risk and who they want to be when the smoke clears.
Burning Wild
"Jake couldn't stop his eyes from dropping to my body. His gaze lingered on my curves, his face thirsting for something more than the spilled coffee. The way his eyes fumed made me squirm with longing. It was all I could do not to reach out and touch his rippling bicep, to pull him closer to me. I barely knew this man, but the way his face smoldered as he stared at me made me feel sexy for the first time in my life. It ignited a desire in me and awakened a sexual goddess who had been suppressed for a long time. I wasn't a promiscuous woman, but if Jake Lucero had asked me to go home with him at that moment, I would have jumped in his car without question." ____________________________________ Catalina De la Rosa's world is upended when she falls victim to the unpredictable California wildfires. She loses everything in the raging inferno- her home, her invaluable possessions, even a bit of the person she was before the traumatic experience. When Cat meets Jake Lucero, the firefighter who risked everything to save her life, she slowly starts to find herself again. Jake is sullen and brooding, mysterious and closed off, but he stirs something in Cat that she had long ago repressed. Cat is acutely aware of the escalating chemistry forming between them, but she is hesitant to pursue her feelings for fear of losing herself again. Cat soon discovers that Jake is as wild as the fires that forever altered her life. His dark secrets and risqué past threaten to destroy everything she has built. She knows that she should keep her distance, but she can't seem to stay away. Though it is dangerous to play with fire, the smoldering connection between her and Jake keeps Cat coming back for more. Now, her life will never be the same. © Dawn Norwell ___________________________________________ *3rd place winner in the Winter Rose Awards #1 in Young Adult #1 in Starcrossed Lovers #1 in Firefightter #6 in Adult #3 in Powerful Women #3 in Love and LossComplete
