The Protective Firefighter (Maple Falls: Fire Department #1)

I told the town he was my fiancé. Now I’m terrified I might actually want him to be.

When my toxic ex showed up at Lily’s flower shop, I panicked… and grabbed the nearest man, calling him my fiancé.

That man? Jake Torres. Broad-shouldered, protective, and all too convincing when he pulls me close.

We swore it was just pretend. Rings, photos, a few town events. But every touch feels real, every look burns hotter, and Jake doesn’t just want to protect me anymore… He wants to claim me.

Would you risk it all for a love that started as a lie?

The Protective Firefighter is a short, sweet, and steamy small-town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Maple Fire Department.
