She came home to start over, not to fall.
Gemma Holloway swore off trust when she found her fiancé in someone else's bed. Now she's back in Cedar Bend, working the ER night shift, patching up other people's emergencies while pretending her own heart doesn't need sutures. She's got a plan: keep her head down, rebuild her life, and never let anyone close enough to shatter her again.
Then Fire Captain Eli Vance carries an unconscious child through her trauma bay doors, and everything she thought she knew about staying safe goes up in smoke.
He doesn't make promises. He just shows up, fixing her porch railing without being asked, bringing dinner after brutal shifts, standing steady when her past crashes back into town. Every small, quiet act chips away at walls she can't afford to let crumble.
But Eli has his own scars. The last woman he loved walked away because she couldn't handle the danger, the absences, the fear. He's learned that being himself means being alone, until Gemma looks at him like he's worth the risk.
When an investigation threatens everything they've built and old wounds tear them apart, they'll both have to decide: Is love something you wait for, or something you fight through the flames to save?
Smoke Between Us is a sizzling, emotionally grounded firefighter romance about two people who've learned to survive alone, discovering that real safety isn't distance. It's being chosen, every single day.
