Forbidden Inferno

Jonathan Carter is a firefighter with a reputation he cannot outrun. When a bar fight meant to defend a fellow firefighter spirals into public scandal, the city's chief executive delivers an ultimatum. Fix Jonathan's image or lose him for good.

Enter Emilia Meadows. Respected journalist. Quiet strength. Careful with her heart and her career. She is hired to rebuild Jonathan's reputation, not get tangled in it. He is everything she avoids. Too charming. Too reckless. Too tempting.

Their chemistry is immediate and dangerous. What begins as strict professionalism, at least on Emilia's side, slowly unravels behind closed doors. An affair neither of them can afford. If the truth comes out, Emilia risks everything she has worked for.

Complications deepen when Emilia's sister Clara develops feelings for Jonathan. Guilt drives Emilia away and into the arms of another man, one who knows nothing of her past. Until he does.

When Jonathan and Emilia finally find their way back to each other, secrets refuse to stay buried. A wedding. A locked storeroom. One wrong witness. One careless whisper.

In a town that never forgets, love becomes the most dangerous fire of all.
