Burn Patterns (First in Line #1)

Some fires can’t be contained. Some obsessions never burn out.

Firefighter Marcus McCabe has faced infernos that could swallow a city whole—but nothing feels as dangerous as the man watching him from the flames.

When a string of arsons turns personal, Marcus is thrown together with James Reynolds, a brilliant forensic psychologist with a past he won’t talk about. Their chemistry is instant—raw, reckless, and impossible to ignore.

The deeper they dig, the more chilling the truth the arsonist isn’t just setting fires. He’s sending Marcus a message.

With the city on edge and the predator closing in, Marcus and James must decide what scares them more—the monster in the fire, or the heat between them.

Burn Patterns is a steamy, fast-paced firefighter romance with romantic suspense and psychological thriller elements. Expect hurt/comfort, opposites attract, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
