I don't do distractions.
I investigate fires.
As Copper Ridge's arson investigator, I live by evidence, not emotions. Especially when it comes to Lieutenant Aiden Gentry-charming, infuriating, and way too comfortable being the department's golden boy.
We clash over everything. Protocol. Credit. Control.
Then a viral video turns our rivalry into a headline romance we never agreed to.
The solution? Fake it.
Smile for the town. Play nice for the department.
It should be easy. It isn't.
Because the longer we pretend, the harder it becomes to ignore the heat between us-or the way Aiden has my back when a dangerous string of fires threatens Copper Ridge. As the investigation heats up, so do the stakes... and the line between professional and personal starts to burn.
I'm trained to spot a flashpoint-the moment everything explodes.
I just didn't expect to be standing in the middle of one.
