Two men. One firehouse. A spark that refuses to die.

When seasoned captain Ashton Cole transfers to Station 14, he expects discipline, teamwork, and the familiar weight of responsibility. What he doesn't expect is Leo Hayes-the bold, sharp-witted firefighter whose confidence borders on defiance and whose presence ignites something Ashton has spent years trying to bury.

Their tension is immediate, electric, and unmistakable.

As the team battles rising danger in the field and an unpredictable arson case at home, the conflict between Ashton and Leo deepens into something neither man can control. In the glow of flames and the quiet moments after, emotions simmer. Glances linger. And beneath every clash lies a truth they are both terrified to face.

When a catastrophic rescue forces them to choose between duty and desire, the lines between fear, loyalty, and longing blur. Ash and Leo must decide if the connection burning between them is worth risking everything-their jobs, their safety, and the walls they've each built to survive.

Tender, slow-burning, and charged with homoerotic tension, The Fire Between Us is an emotional LGBTQ+ romance about courage, vulnerability, and love found in the most unexpected places. Perfect for readers who crave character-driven storytelling, deep emotional stakes, and relationships forged in heat and honesty.
