He can command a fire line—he can’t command his heart to stand down.
Captain Russell Kincaid runs Timber Ridge’s arson task force like a war room: clipped orders, clean chains of command, zero room for mistakes. The town is watching, the media is circling, and every new ignition feels less like bad luck and more like a threat aimed straight at Station 9.
Then Sasha Pembroke arrives.
She’s the county’s deputy emergency manager—bright, relentless, and infuriatingly calm under pressure. Her job is to keep the public from panicking and the evacuation routes from collapsing. His job is to keep firefighters alive. They should be allies.
Instead, they collide.
Russell doesn’t do “soft.” He doesn’t do “risk.” And he definitely doesn’t do a sunshine civilian who keeps challenging him in front of his own people. But Sasha won’t be managed, won’t be sidelined, and won’t pretend the heat between them is a mistake—especially after one kiss rewrites every rule he thought he could enforce.
Now Russell has to choose between control and truth, duty and desire, silence and the woman who refuses to be his secret.
Because if Sasha stays close, she becomes a target.
And if he pushes her away, he might lose the only person steady enough to stand beside him when the whole county turns.
My Grumpy Fire Captain is a steamy, slow-burn small-town firefighter romance packed with command-level tension, public scrutiny, protective “I can’t risk you” conflict, and an escalating arson mystery—complete with a guaranteed happily ever after.
